After School for Young Artists The Color Wheel Comes to Life!
Cynthia Caraway and Ronda Reynolds-Smith
 Children catch the spirit of art as they work extensively with color! In this lively approach to color theory, each student will build a color wheel, beginning with primary colors and then mixing secondary and tertiary colors. It’s a great way to learn how colors relate to each other. Using color families, children will also create cool color collages, warm color weavings, and powerful paintings. This hands-on experience will give young artists tools that will help them develop their artistic talents and enjoyment. Materials included in course fee.
