Complementary Monsters

Hi fourth graders and art fans!  Here's a little lesson on COMPLEMENTARY COLORS.... Complementary colors are colors that complement each other. They set each other off, they look nice together. They are very different from one another, and they are positioned on opposite sides of the color wheel.  Complementary colors com in pairs.  Here's a funny little clip introducing the complementary color pairs. Some of you might recognize this video from art class, others maybe not.
See those colors on opposite sides of the wheel?  Purple goes with yellow, orange with blue, and red with green....

For this are lesson, you'll be making a PAIR of complementary color monsters!  You choose your two colors and start your designs.

  Here are some things to consider when creating your monsters...

(Don't forget to draw big!! And start with PENCIL FIRST!!)

Remember to add some "complements".  These are "complementary monsters", after all.  :)

I hope you had fun coming up with these silly creatures and learning a bit more about color theory for artists.  Happy art making, everyone!
