Instructions:

1. Choose a real photo and select something from it (a bird, umbrella, a horse etc.). Do not pick a picture that uses just plain colors on the color wheel. That idea is not creative. The more variation in color the more creative the assignment. You want to be as creative as you can.
2. Draw a picture of the object you selected onto a paper. Make your drawing as big as you can, filling the entire page.  The bigger the drawing is, the easier the assignment will be in the end.
3. Divide the drawing into 6 sections (this will become your final color wheel )
4. Get something you can put paint on
5. You will now label where the red goes. next label where orange goes, next label where yellow goes and you will keep repeating this until you have labeled all 6 colors (red, yellow, blue, orange, green, purple).
