Color Wheel Project

You guys were all asking for an empty color wheel to paint.  Here it is!  Copy and Paste the pie chart into a Word, enlarge and print.  It may turn out a little foggy but should suffice for painting.  You can also print the color wheel too if you would like.
Don't forget your homework for this week!  If you don't remember what it was here is the assignment:
Paint a picture using only two complementary colors.  Remember complementary colors are opposite of each other on the color wheel.  If you would like to do different hues within a color go ahead.  Bring it to TBG next week and we will display it!

Our New TBG Blog!

Hi Guys!
A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of Grand Jatte
Welcome to our newest blog ~ Truth, Beauty, Goodness.  On this blog we will have biographies of the artists, composers, and poets.  We will have displays of your artwork in the gallery and our hymns & folk songs in the vocal tab.
    This term we will be studying Georges Seurat and Johann Sebastian Bach.  To the right is one of Georges Seurat's most famous paintings, A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of Grand Jatte.  It was painted between 1884 - 1886.



A Serenade for New Year's Eve, author unknown

The old year departed, how swiftly it flew,
'Tis gone, and with rapture we welcome the new;

 We trust a bright morning will dawn on your eyes,
And sun beams unclouded illumine the skies.
Then wake from your slumbers, our serenade hear,
We wish you a happy, a happy New Year!
