1. Today we will be distinguishing between warm and cool colors, identifying the shades and tints of

primary, secondary, and tertiary/intermediate colors, AND uncovering the role of color schemes in interior design.

Introduction to the Lesson/Hook:

Color Code Personality test to see what color you are and how you see the world through your color’s eyes.

We will be uncovering the importance of color within the world today. We will learn about the warm and cool

colors, and the colors that make up the color wheel. We will also be looking at how color effects interior design.

Our essential question of the day will focus on the value of color and why is it essential for everyday life?

We will be circling back to this towards the end of the lesson to ensure we grasp what we learned today!
Higher Order Thinking (HOT) Questions:
1. Why is learning the value of color essential for everyday life?

Content to be presented in lesson:

Good morning class, hope y’all had a great weekend. today we will be talking about the color wheel. We will be starting
out with a bell ringer. Mrs. Rooney put on your Google classroom link to the guided notes. Open those up and about a
fourth of the way on the top of the second page there’s a spot for your bellringer. there is an embedded link that takes you
straight to the bellringer. It is called Color-code, personality test. You will be filling out the questions to the best of your
ability. If you do not know an answer it is completely fine to skip it and move on! At the end, it’ll ask you to sign in and
create an account, you do not have to do this. Then click submit and you’ll get your color results. I will give you about 10
minutes to do this and then we’ll do a temperature check to see where y’all are at.
now that we are done with that, what did y’all think about the personality test? Was it accurate, did you agree or disagree?
What would be a better alternative to it?
how this tie into the lesson, is we will be uncovering the use of color from the eyes of consumers and what colors are.
Before we get started, I want to introduce myself a little bit more. I just recently got married. My husband, Corey and I
live in Fayetteville. I have a big family. I am one of four children. My major at the University of Arkansas is career and
technical education with a concentration in family consumer sciences. I’m excited to get to spend time with y’all next
semester and be here to watch you grow. Now let’s get into the color wheel.
Our objectives today will be to identify warm and cool colors, primary, secondary, and tertiary colors, and identify how
colors influence interior design. Our essential question is why is learning the value of color essential for everyday life? I
want to ask this in the beginning of the lesson but also circle back to it at the end.
Let’s start off with uncovering what the four colors in the personality test are. Let’s start with reds, these are the people
that strive for power in relationships. They are motivated and driven in their aspirations. They bring a lot of leadership
into their careers. Next, we have blue’s, these are people that strive to have intimate relationships. They focus on creating
quality relationships that are motivated by the small things. They pay a lot of attention to detail, and are sincere, loyal, and
thoughtful. Then we have our whites, these people are driven by peace. They have an incredible ability to stay calm and
balanced. They bring a great sense of quality, clarity, and tolerance to any relationship. And lastly, we have the yellows,
these people find the joy in all life. They carry enthusiasm, optimism, and spontaneity with them wherever they go!
I am a Blue. I love the intimacy of relationships and quality time that they bring! I also love the details and small things
that come with life.
Alright we will dive right into the content now if you all want to follow along in your guided notes and fill in the blanks
with the things on the slides.
starting off we’ll talk about warm and cool colors. What are they and why they are important? Warm colors are associated
with fire. Heat and warm temperatures. So, these are going to be your reds, oranges, and yellows. Then you have your
cool colors. These are associated with water, ice, and cool temperatures. These are your violets, blues, and greens.
Next is primary secondary and tertiary colors. We’re going to discuss what they are and why they’re important. first is the
primary colors. Can anyone tell me what they are? They are red, blue, and yellow. They cannot be made up of any other
color. These are the colors in which all other colors are made though. They are equally spaced out on the color wheel.
Next is secondary colors. does anyone know what these are? They are green, orange, and violet. These are made from
combining equal portions of two primary colors. These also are equal distance on the color wheel. Then, lastly are tertiary
colors. Does anyone know what these are? These are yellow-green, yellow-orange, red orange, red violet, blue violet, and
blue green. These colors are made by combining equal amounts of one primary and one secondary color. They are always
named with the primary color first. These two are equal distance on the color wheel with one color in between them.
The third thing we’re going to talk about are tense and shades. So, a tent is a lighter value of a color closest to the white
value of it. Then the shade is the darker value of a color closer to the value of black in it.
Last, we will be talking about how color can be incorporated into interior design. You have five color palette
determinants. First one being monochromatic. This is achieved by using tints and shades of one specific color. Next is
complementary, this is made up of two colors directly opposite each other on the color wheel. An example of this is
Christmas colors, red and green. Another example is orange and blue. We see this commonly displayed in basketball team
uniforms. next you have analogous. This is two or more colors next to each other on the color wheel. An example of this
is yellow, yellow-orange, and orange. Next you have triadic, which is three colors, the same distance from one another on
the color wheel. An example of this is the primary colors, red, blue, and yellow. Then, lastly is split complementary. This
is a result of winter color is combined with colors on each side of its complement. So blue, red-orange, and yellow orange.
That is all for our color wheel. Now it’s time for our activity. Scrolling to the bottom of your guided notes. You will see
that there is a color table. You will be filling this out as you uncover the correct objects that are associated with the correct
color. You will search on the Internet different items that are associated with that color and copy and paste them into the
correct cell in the table. You’ll be finding an object of that color, of the shade, end of the tint of that color. You will have
the rest of the class time to work on this. I will be walking around to answer any questions you may have. I will let you
know when you have about five minutes left. Then you can get your sticky note out to give me some feedback on the
lesson and your favorite part of this color lesson.
Now that you were done, thank you all so much for participating with me and learning about the color wheel. I hope you
had a great time and are looking forward to building off this next class with the elements of design.

Learning activities/procedures:

- Bell ringer:

o COLOR CODE personality test

o Fill that out and then fill out guided notes questions for that.

- Guided Notes:

o Students fill these out during the lesson.

- Lecture slides:

o Color wheel

o Interior design with color

- After the slides work on your COLOR TABLE.

o Find things that represent the color in the table. So, for pure red insert a stop sign. So on and so

forth.

o Complete the table with the right object demonstrating the Color, Tint, and Shade of that color.

Summary/Closure/Review of Content:

Thank you so much for participating in my lesson today on the Color Wheel. It was fun to uncover the

differences between warm and cool colors, primary secondary and tertiary colors, and the influence color

has in interior design. See you next time!!

Evaluation/assessment of student learning:

I will assess the students learning by walking around and checking everyone’s color tables. This will show their

knowledge of the primary, secondary, and tertiary colors but also their ability to find the tints and shades of the

colors. Then at the end of class they will all take out a sticky not and write something about colors that they did

not know before. Then they can answer why is color essential to everyday life?
Modifications for exceptional learners:

I have two students with IEP’s that I can create modifications for in this class. They are mentally impaired and

need a modified workbook and guided notes. I can have them fill out a different personality color test that has

fewer words and questions. And then have them only fill out some of the colors on the color table. This way they

can still participate but still be able to work at their own rates.
