My 6th graders created 4 way designs and each section is painted and colored using a different color scheme using watercolor paint, crayon, colored pencil and paint markers. #tmsrocks #hvartsed #hvrsd #watercolor #colorschemes #6thgradeart

8th graders made cookie color wheels using vanilla frosting, food coloring, Nilla wafers. Students worked in groups to create the wheel plus 3 browns and a tint. This lesson is a fan favorite! #tmsrocks #hvartsed #hvrsd #artisfun
