These photos don't give justice to how cool these mobiles ended up
looking in our cafeteria, each one was about 6 feet long. This was a group instillation project where
students designed collectively what they wanted their projects to look
like. Students also had to learn how to mix tints and shades of paint within an agreed upon color palette. The class drew inspiration from
geometric or organic shapes. This project taught students how to
envision a project and see it from start to finish, as well as teach
perseverance when working with others.
Students began learning about the
color wheel for this project and learning the vocabulary needed to
discuss it. Students practiced mixing analogous, and complimentary
colors as a quick one day exercise. Then each student created two full
sheets of a specific tint and shade as a group. These exercise
worksheets were cut up to make up the pieces of each groups mobile.
Students designed the shapes and the arrangement of the pieces to
reflect the feeling of the color that they where working with.
