SWEET: Gettin' Creative with Color Wheels

I taught the color wheel and color theory this past year to undergrad students. It's never the most exciting thing but my students actually enjoyed it. It was something that pretty much everyone could do. And if they couldn't quite get the colors they meant to, a little help got them there.

But it can get boring teaching it the same way each year. This blog by middle school art teacher Ms. Cynthia Gaub (which has some excellent art ed & technology ideas you MUST check out) shared some alternative and mixed media ways to introduce color to your students. Have them make it out of found objects or collage!Any other ideas for color wheels?
