This is a great lesson that I got from the blog Art Lessons for Kids. My 2nd graders have been spending the last few months discussing color. This lesson was a great way to review what we have learned. I definitely perked their interest when I told them we were making color wheel “pizzas.”
We started by tracing a circle on white tag board.

Once they were finished coloring…the real fun began. I set up stations around the room of different “toppings” the kids could add to their pizza. There was felt, paper, foam shapes, pipe cleaners, glitter, feathers, and small pom poms.

It was neat seeing all the different ideas the kids came up with.

When students finished I took pictures of them pretending to take a bite out of their pizza. I had one student even cut out a bite…too funny. Then students put their pizza on the drying rack, aka “oven” to bake.

Lastly, to end the color unit with 2nd grade, we watched some chapters from Getting to Know Color in Art.
