EASY Mandala Color Scheme Practice Worksheet: Sub, Early Finisher

 EASY ACTIVITY-5 COLOR SCHEMES!

Use this black and white Color Scheme Practice Worksheet as a follow up activity on your color theory lesson. I usually have students complete it AFTER they've completed a practice color wheel.


HOW TO USE:
This worksheet is great for early finishers (I have them hold onto it all semester and work on it whenever they have free time). OR, this could be a great sub activity.

AGE RANGE: Upper Elementary and Middle School

This activity would be appropriate for students in grades 4-8. Thinking of using it with older or younger students? Cool! You may need to offer additional support/resources to ensure student success.

GETTING STARTED:

I usually start it with the students as a demo, and work on it here and there myself to model exectations for the activity.

This pdf also incudes a slide with a partially-colored example and tips for use. This can be used by the teacher or displayed (or printed) for student use.
