How can I learn to mix any color I wish? What techniques should I use to do this? Other considerations (modifications, accommodations, acceleration, etc.): Students who are advanced can do a series of paintings Students who need help will get more oneon-one assistance from teacher Connections (prior learning/prior knowledge): Students are familiar with color theory from a previous lesson. Students are familiar with complementary colors from previous lessons

Resources/Materials Teacher: Understanding Art: ImpressionismThe Gang of Four, images of impressionist paintings, acrylic paint and paper for demonstrations

Students: Heavy watercolor paper Paint Pencil Canvas Palette Knives Assessment (How will you monitor progress and know students have successfully met outcomes?) Daily: Daily observations of color scheme exercises This Week: Completed color scheme chart Unit: Completed impressionist painting using a color scheme
