Four Way Color Design

Using a 8.5” x 11” piece of white paper, divide it into four section. In one section draw a design with pencil. Go over the design again with a thin black marker. Trace that same design on the other three sections of the paper.

NOTE: Make sure that you are tracing the designs on the same side of the paper, NOT on the back.

• In the first section, use ONLY Primary OR Secondary colors to color in your design
(Primary: Red, Yellow, Blue and Secondary: Green, Orange, Purple)
• In the second section, use ONLY Neutral Colors (White, Grey, Black, Brown)
• In the third section use ONLY Analogous Colors (Example: Green, Blue-Green, Blue OR Red, Red-Orange, Orange)
• In the fourth section use ONLY Complimentary Colors (Example: Purple and Yellow, Red and Green, OR Blue and Orange)
