How Do I Love Thee: Patterning


Patterning in Color Theory

Color theory is derived from an organization of color on a wheel. Using the color wheel artists can find relationships of colors to use within an art piece. The wheel is set up to allow artists to easily understand color theory and how colors relate to one another. Within the color wheel patterns can be found.
Example:
Tertiary Colors are colors created by mixing a primary and secondary color, such as yellow and orange create the tertiary color yellow-orange. The tertiary colors are always located between the two colors in which create it. This is relevant for all secondary colors as well. Green always lies between yellow and blue on the color wheel.

Color Wheel Re-Designed
The Color Fish
Creating the color wheel in a linear system may allow the students to see the color mixing easier and the relationships of the colors next to each other. For early elementary purposes I created the linear system to represent a fish, you could also do this with a snake or any other animal with a long body.
