Invite students to go outside and draw a landscape picture. When they are ready to add color to their illustrations, ask them to replace each color with its complementary color. For example, instead of using green for a tree, they should use red; instead of using blue for the sky, they should use orange. When students finish their artwork, ask them to discuss the impact of their pictures.
Variations:
- Ask students to draw a new landscape and allow them to choose any colors they want except for the "real" colors (i.e., the sky cannot be colored blue).
- Ask students to do a landscape collage using only one shape.
- Ask students to create a self portrait using one continuous line. Then invite them to color it using only primary colors.
- Ask students to create a self portrait using only shades of one color.
