I didn't have exact fabrics or ribbon for tertiary colors, so.... I told my students to create the color by mixing what resources they had to create what they needed. Thats why on some you can see a yellow and orange button together. This was supposed to be yellow orange.
And colored pencils were allowed.

I just barely finished my color unit in Fashion.
Iasked Wal-Martif they would donate any money (which they did - $25) and bought ribbon (6500 yd spools), buttons (~300), and fabric (~8 fat quarters). I told the students exactly how much of eachresource they could use and told them that they would get points for creativity. The results were AWESOME!

I'm not sure what you mean about the color wheel. I have my students create their own color wheel using any medium available to them. The guidelines are that it has to be in a "wheel" (circle) and it has to fit in their portfolio. I have had students use startburst wrappers, fabric, colored pencils, paper, programs on the computer, etc. It has been amazing to see their creativity! I keep awesome samples of course :) Good luck!

I saw at Hurricane HS the teacher have the students create a color wheel out of clothes cut from a fashion magazine. I have also seen a teacher give the student the creative opportunity to create a color wheel at home with any objects, pictures, textures, etc. The results was pretty fun.

There is a student teacher at my school who gave me this idea: Use frosting and graham crackers! They get to mix the colors and eat it and you just have to check it off before they eating, so it cuts down on grading!

We use nilla wafers and frosting. It is not permanent - but fun. I teach Junior high though.

For my color wheel assignment in interior design I have them use paint chips. They cut out the chips and glue them on the color wheel. I LOVE this way more than mixing paints. They do it with a color wheel, tints shades and tones page, and with color schemes.

Hope this helps!!!

I teach Fashion and Interior Design
Fashion
The students paint and mix colors for the wheel and tints tones and shades.
I also do different assignment for textiles - they weave yarn together.
Interior Design
I have them color the wheel with pencils, and we paint a different paper
showing tints tones and shades.
For textiles they weave paper strips.
So it is similar, but different...I have a lot of students to take both of
my classes.

Melissa,

I don't have the powerpoint, but for ID, I have done the following things.

I used clear cups with water and food coloring and had the students as a group mix the colors until they had all the colors on the color wheel.

I have also used vanilla wafers and white frosting. put red, blue and yellow coloring in the frosting and have the students mix the colors and create a cookie color wheel.

I have also had them color one with crayons or colored pencils so they have one to keep.

Another one that I have seen but not done uses colored transparency paper. and by putting the colors one over another, the color wheel can be created

I have also assigned a "creative color wheel" where the students had to create their own out of something else.(they pasted their items in a wheel on a piece of card stock and labeled each color) I have had them come in with buttons, ribbons, candy, clay, paint samples, fabric, melted crayon shapes, artistically drawn ones, some with magazine cut outs of all flowers or shirts or something. I even had one girl bring 12 different mixed koolaid samples!! This was a fun review assignment and everyone presented to the class what they had done.

Hope this helps!
