INTRODUCTION

This web quest will help introduce students to the color wheel and tertiary colors. Students will create their own color wheel including tertiary colors. Students will then create their own artwork using only tertiary colors. By encouraging them to create their own art work, students can gain confidence in themselves that they too can be great artists. This web quest also introduces the process needed to create a color wheel. In this web quest students will learn how make a color wheel with tertiary colors.  This process will be applied to the artwork that they will create because the students will only be using tertiary colors to create their final masterpiece.
