1st grade artists used contour lines to draw a snail with a large shell. They then used a spiral to create the sections of the shell that would soon become their color wheel. This is a great lesson for them to practice color theory and the order of the color wheel. When they are younger and first learn the rainbow it starts at red and ends with violet, but the color wheel truly continues again and again. They were expected to color in each section of their shell in color wheel order. They also learned warm and cool colors and practiced that knowledge by using a color from one family to fill the snail body and a color from the other family the fill their background with paint.
All of the snails have such different personalities! I just love these rainbows!
