Art Lessons for the Kids: Warm and Cool Colors

I have been blessed with talented, brilliant children who ooze creativity. I want to encourage that creativity as much as possible, but HOLY COW are art lessons expensive! If we only had one child it would be doable, but with 4 children it just isn't in the cards right now.

Though I am not a teacher, or a professional artist, I have taken it upon myself to be my childrens' art teacher. While I have a few ideas of my own, Pinterest is my greatest ally for lesson plans and printables. If you'd like to follow me on this new creative endeavour I'll be sharing my resources and ideas.

This is what I currently have planned-in no particular order. 

You can also follow my Art Lessons for Kids board on Pinterest. 

The first lesson with my little art students was on Warm and Cool colors. I found a great blog post from Laura Spector on HubPages and used her circle template for the hand tracings. I also used an awesome printable from I Love You Because to teach the kids about warm/cool on the color wheel.

The hands turned out great and it was a fun and easy introduction for the kids.

You'll have to pardon the lack of awesome pictures until I get a new camera.
