Sesame Street: OK Go - Three Primary Colors

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
With the students of grade 6 (11 years old) we are continuing our adventure to discover the colors. Today we worked with the complementary colors on black and white photocopies depicting flowers. To color the pictures, we used oil pastels and we cut the photocopies into three parts.

Wayne Thiebaud is an American artist who worked in the '60s. He is often associated with the Pop Art because of his choice of subjects (objects symbol of consumerism such as cakes, candies, chewing gum, hot dogs, cosmetics, toys). Thiebaud, however, has always refused to be inscribed in an artistic movement. In the 8th grade class we were inspired by this American artist to draw our cakes, imitating the Thiebaud's painting style with oil pastels. The results are excellent, bright and very personal!

With this drawing you can create a three-dimensional visual effect just with parallel lines. Students of Grade 6th have drawn these bottles with felt-tip pens, choosing a sequence of three or four colours and repeating it to complete the bottle. The background has been drew with the same technique but with different colours.

We start drawing five or six bottles with a pencil on a drawing paper; the bottles have to be quite large in order to fill half of the space on the drawing sheet. The neck of the bottle at he top must be slightly curved outwards, to give the illusion of volume. We draw a sequence of three or four colors repeating them on the whole bottle. The lines must be close and parallel, with the same curve. For the background we draw curved, parallel lines starting with a little arc from the middle of the drawing sheet. We choose a different sequence of colors to create more contrast between the bottles and the background.

These small landscapes are created in the common style of social network or instant photo. The square format is suitable to draw nice landscape with few colored pencils creating depht and space. Starting from the colored background we used just colored pencils, blending them to create chromatic values.

It's better to start from light colors and overlap light layers of colors, in order to obtain the shaded background. Start blending colored pencils with light layers from light colors to dark colors. You can use a liquid corrector for white details. Cut out your landscape and past it on the worksheet.

You can create depth by drawing different objects in the middle ground and in the foreground, as backlight silhouette on the colored background.

In these worksheets, you can find 2 templates in pdf ready to be printed on cardboard or paper. You can draw or paint a small landscape in the style of an instant photo or like a social network post on a smartphone.

This is the "polaroid" sample:

After the lesson about warm and cool colors, we made these landscapes.
This painting is useful to learn all the possibilities of creating a wide range of warm and cool colors, just mixing watercolors.

To realize this painting with warm and cool colors, you need:
- drawing sheet
- pencil and ruler
- oil pastels
- watercolors and paintbrush
- black cardboard
- scissors and glue

You start drawing a line in the middle of a drawing sheet, that will be the horizon of your landscape.
On the top you draw a little sun and 10-12 wavy lines, some of them intersected, maintaining a horizontal layout (for the sky).
Underneath you draw other 10-12 intersected wavy lines, with a vertical layout (for the sea).
You redraw the lines with oil pastels, using warm colors for the sky and cool colors for the sea.
These lines will be a water-resistant contour for the watercolours.
You can paint every area blending the watercolours with water, and combining them in different hues.
While the watercolour is drying out, you draw the skyline with a pencil on the black cardboard, and then you cut it out with cutter or scissors.
When the painting is completely dry you paste the black skyline in the middle of your landscape: be careful to past it on the horizon, perfectly horizontal.

In the classes of the 7th Grade we are still working on the textures, but this time we are using oil pastels and discovering all the technical possibilities of these colors. After drawing a large tree with a black marker, we colored the four areas of the background with the colors of the four seasons. The oil pastels have been overlapped and blended to create nuanced color effects, and finally the surface of oil pastels has been engraved with a toothpick with small textures that evoke the four seasons. I find that the results are beautiful!

Here I publish the picture of the works realized to the students of St.B school in Canada, they followed the suggestion of this post about the 4 Season Tree, using permanent markers and oil pastels. The experience was shared from a great teacher, and I'm very glad to show the result! Thanks for sharing!
