Intro-Color Wheel Beads

Color Wheel Beads with Sculpey Clay

Each student needs to make a total of 19 color wheel beads which, when completed will be baked and strung on to a string to be graded.

There are 12 colors in the color wheel:(all made from yellow/red/blue clay- Red, Red-Violet, Violet, Blue-Violet, Blue, Blue-Green, Green, Yellow-Green, Yellow, Yellow-Orange, Orange, Red-Orange. Each bead needs to be mixed to complete the solid color, poke a hole through them, so that they can be strung, and then create a texture upon each bead. 12 different colors/12 different textures.

The additional 7 beads are made from black/white/green-to create 7 monochromatic color scheme beads. A solid green bead, the next bead you can add a little white, the next a little more white, and the next even more white. The other 3 are made to a green bead by including a little black, the next a little more black, and the last even more black. This will create a light to dark value scale of green.
