Re: [teacherartexchange] middle school color theory

Gaby,

Whatever you decide to teach in color theory - it will stick better
and be much more effective
if it is applied in a real life painting project. Color Wheels and
the various charts don't have
much meaning unless used in creating something. No matter what the
age - less theory and
more application is the answer.
