Subject(s) Arts
Length of Lesson 50 minuts
Lesson Overview/
Rationale
In arts class and in many things in life will need us to know the
difference of colors. Our brain one day will ask us where and who did
each color make up its unique look. The students in this lesson will
be able to differentiate the many different colors and know the two
groups of colors, the primary and secondary color. When we say
primary colors we are referring to the group of colors from which all
other colors can be obtained by mixing. And what secondary color
mean is the opposite, a color resulting from the mixing of two
primary colors

I will be using Kidspiration where I will be sitting and showing the
students how to use a diagram to be able to clarify the system of the
two types of colors primary and secondary.

Materials Computers
The primary paints
Plates
Paint brushes
Paint boards
Procedure 1) The students will be first introduced to what does color
means and what are the two types of colors.
2) The students will learn that we have these two types of colors
and that the secondary colors come out of the primaries.
3) After listening to the lecture about colors the students will
be, then, give the paints of all the primary colors in plates and
asked to make up the new different colors out of these
primary ones.
4) Each student will be give paint brushes and the primary colors
and use them to paint their hand and make as many different
colors on their hand imprints as they can to show that they
are able to bring up many colors out of only the primaries
that where given to them.
5) A big art board will be sit for each student to imprint their
prints on them and show all the colors that were made by
each one.
6) The boards will hold each students names to be able to know
who made each best colorful board and be graded for the
many different colors presented in the board.
Assessment The number one assignment will be the boards where each student,
during the class, made after the lecture of what are the types of
colors and which colors make which.

Another assignment will be a quiz asking;
Whether a given color is a primary or secondary?
What two primary colors make up green, purple, and orange?
The final assignment will be using kidspration to explain the
secondary colors from the primary ones.
