Our collaborative murals began with our guest artist Mary Vaughan planning our design themes, measuring and constructing over 90 wooden panels and creating the layouts of different sections that ultimately was created and painted by the students. Enjoy the slide show of the work in many stages and progress. Thank you to our funding partners. Nebraska Arts Council: "THE NEBRASKA ARTS COUNCIL, A STATE AGENCY, HAS SUPPORTED THIS ARTS EVENT THROUGH ITS MATCHING GRANTS PROGRAM FUNDED BY THE NEBRASKA LEGISLATURE AND THE NATIONAL ENDOWMENT FOR THE ARTS, AND THE NEBRASKA CULTURAL ENDOWMENT. VISIT www.nebraskaartscouncil.org FOR INFORMATION ON HOW THE NEBRASKA ARTS COUNCIL CAN ASSIST YOUR ORGANIZATION." Hamilton Community Foundation: MATCHING FINE ARTS GRANT Aurora Public Schools: VISUAL ARTS FUNDS Visual Art students were given an assignment to create a Color Wheel or Spectrum using paint store color chips samples. They could include illustrations, paper cuts, etc. We also looked at a the very creative and popular Sherman Williams ad campaigns using color paint chips.
While helping students understand and define color themes, the terms "warm" and cool" are often used to describe a color. In general different blues, greens and violets are considered cool colors while yellows, oranges and reds are considered warm. We associate certain feelings rather than actual temperatures. A warm yellow-orange might feel cozy like by a fire or cool blues feels calming as water by a beach. Warm colors optically tend to advance while cool colors recede. Whatever the color theory process we teach our students, they always seem to choose the one they love the most to be able to create these wonderful paintings.
