Color Wheel Sculptures!

What is The Color Wheel?

- The Color Wheel is a circle with different colored section. Each color is placed in a special order and shows us how colors are related to one another!

How do the colors work?

- Colors are separated into groups. The first group are the PRIMARY colors! The primary colors are Red, Blue, and Yellow. These are known as our “natural” colors.

- The second group of colors are the SECONDARY colors! These colors are each found directly in-between 2 primary colors. This is because it takes 2 Primary Colors to create 1 Secondary Color!

- Notice that the groups of colors are NOT next to each other on the color wheel!

What is a Sculpture?

- A Sculpture is where an artist uses various tools to create a 3D form.

- Sculptures can be made out of clay, stone, wax, wood, and more!
