Color Wheel Bulletin Board
Ready for a color wheel bulletin board that beats those boring, store-bought color wheel posters? Those don’t excite elementary art kids learning about color theory. Get ready to amp up art room engagement!
For 20 years, I used those posters in my art room and not one student ever exclaimed how awesome my color wheel bulletin board was. Nor were they excited to learn about color families or cared to refer to them while working.
However, once I displayed my new color wheel – glitter paints and all – I received rave reviews from all my students! It’s quickly become an art room favorite.
Now when I teach color theory, the size of the paint tubes helps students recall the difference between primary and secondary colors.
Big tubes, primary. Small tubes, secondary.
And those cute paint splatters are tertiary colors. I like to say they’re made from mixing an adjacent big and a small tube together.
In addition, I use the color palettes to talk about how colors belong to different groups. Seeing all the color palettes really helps my students understand that they have so many options when it comes to pairing colors. Now, they’re much more curious how to pronounce words like analogous and monochromatic. And they want to mix them, too!
Now this is how you engage students to learn about color schemes and color theory!

Why You’ll Love It

This color wheel was even more helpful than I expected….ALL OF my students, PK-5 prefer to go up to this color wheel rather than our ‘more traditional’ one that was in the room when I inherited it. So happy (and thankful) for this resource! 🙂

Love having this as a fun reference for the color wheel! The paint palettes are so fun to have up and are a great reminder for students with examples.

This color wheel was even more helpful than I expected. I bought it in hopes of having a simpler version of the color wheel for my PK-2 students to look at and understand. I put a double ended arrow that spins in the center to help the littles remember complementary colors. I had it professionally printed at staples, then I cut it and laminated it at home. I used the paint splatters and paint tubes, put the laminated pieces up on the wall, and ALL OF my students, PK-5 prefer to go up to this color wheel rather than our ‘more traditional’ one that was in the room when I inherited it. So happy (and thankful) for this resource! 🙂

My students and I loved using this resource, however being in Australia it was picked up very early with Australian English Colour was missing a letter. So maybe a request by be that there be a print out for other spellings in future. Other than that it was a great resource and can be used in different contexts other than art we have it in our Textiles Room.
