The color wheel is a useful tool to learn the basics of color theory as it relates to art and design. The littlest artists learn that the primary colors are red, yellow and blue, and soon they discover that mixing these most basic of hues produces just about every other color imaginable. Sixth graders explored colors more in depth through a project that combined radial symmetry and the color wheel. Using their names as the basis for their design, they learned to reverse and replicate these designs to produce a circular pattern. Once the complex wheels were created, they colored in each quadrant with either primary colors, secondary colors, intermediate colors or neutrals.
