The document provides instructions for making a play-dough color wheel in 5 steps:
1) Make balls of primary colors blue, red, and yellow and split them into different sizes. Place the small balls on a paper to form a triangle.
2) Mix the remaining primary colors to make secondary colors green, violet, and orange. Split these and place on the wheel.
3) Split and mix the secondary colors to make tertiary colors and add them to the wheel.
4) Draw a line to indicate warm and cool colors. Identify the lightest, brightest, and most drab colors.
5) Additional tips are provided about mixing colors to make brown or
2. Step 1
? Take a quarter size amount of each primary
colour of play-dough (blue, red, yellow)
? Split each ball of play dough into two balls one
of them 1/3 and the other 2/3
3. Step 2
? On a blank piece of paper place each of the
small dots of dough on the paper to create a
large triangle. Label them!
Blue
Primary colours
Red Yellow
4. Step 3
? Split the remaining balls of primary dough in
half
? Mix the balls of dough together so that you
will create each of the three secondary
colours
? Split each of the secondary balls into two with
one large than the other (1/3 to 2/3 ratio)
5. Step 4
? Place the smallest secondary ball of dough in
the proper spot on the colour wheel to create
a circle. Label them!
Blue
Violet Green
Secondary
Colours
Red Yellow
Orange
6. Step 5
? Split the remaining balls of secondary colours
in half and mix them accordingly to get the
remaining tertiary colours.
? Place them in the appropriate spot on the
colour wheel.
? Label them!
7. Final Colour Wheel
Draw a line through your
colour wheel indicating
warm from cool.
?Which colour is the
lightest?
?Which colour is the
brightest?
?Which colour is the
most drab?
8. Keep it simple rules
? Three primaries mixed in unequal amounts
make brown.
? When complementary colours are mixed they
create some shade of brown.
? All virgin hair is a shade of brown.
? Equal amounts of all the primaries make
black, grey, or , depending on the level.
