Color Wheels Masterpieces

This project has changed over time and grown into one of my favorites. As a way to throw in a little Art History, students select a famous masterpiece to reproduce in a circle that is divided into pie wedges. These wedges are to be painted in six color schemes choosing from Primary, Secondary, Intermediate, Analogous, Complementary, Cool, Warm, and Monochromatic colors.  The challenge is that they are only given Primary colors plus black and white.  They have to create all other colors needed in the painting.  It is a great creative and learning experience.
