This was mainly an extension activity to reinforce the concept of warm and cool colours for my Grade 2 students. I got the idea from here. Thank you so much Kathy Barbro for sharing this easy, no mess activity!
Materials required:
- markers
- pre-made templates of concentric squares
Duration: 1 lesson of 80 minutes
1. Since the students already knew about warm & cool colours, all they had to do was trace their hand onto the template and start colouring. The lower ability students chose two warm and two cool colours while the middle & high ability chose 3 or more colours each.
2. Tip: Keep a few extra templates on hand as you will most likely get a few students who have coloured in the "wrong" area.
If I had to do this project again, I would most likely do away with the template and have the kids draw their own concentric organic/geometric shapes. I think they look great on display though!
