1st Grade: Color Value Spheres

In this project I introduced color value. Students used dark, medium and light valued pre cut pieces of paper glueing them down to create a sphere. Students were given guidelines on how to use a glue bottle properly, fill up the entire circle with little to no white paper showing through, and to make sure to go from dark to medium to light with their paper pieces. Students experimented with different ways to create their value spheres and had to problem solve how to use their glue and paper pieces to finish within a certain amount of time. Students helped each other at their tables to say where white was showing and where to place pieces to create value spheres.
