Thanks for your patience!

Thanks for your patience while this Blog is updated. The project founder is transitioning from a position as a K-12 art educator to becoming the art education instructor at a major university. She has temporarily lost her website for this project and will be working on migrating lots of great project information to this blog as time allows in the next month that is packed full of traveling!  For now, you can also follow aspects related to this project at another blog by the project founder at www.eARTHshakingartteacher.blogspot.com.

All educators interested in this project should email worldwidecolorwheel@gmail.com, send their email address, and you will receive a Drop Box link PACKED FULL of curriculum materials, video clips, images, and other supplemental materials for the project!

It's a great project to work into your 2014-15 school plan!

An awesome new tool!

I'm excited about the new Widgets on this Blog!  You will now see a map of the world that shows the many places that educators, students, and others are viewing the Worldwide Color Wheel Project from! It's called ClustrMaps.  We have already had educators from Saudi Arabia, Hungary, Turkey, England, The United Kingdom, Chile, Mexico, Australia, and many other states in the U.S. request project information.  Their locations won't show up on the map unless they come back to the blog, however, as time passes and the project grows it will be very interesting for all the participants and others interested in the project to see our global reach.  Additionally, another Widget called Flag Counter has also been installed. Again, it will show a flag of the countries where our viewers are from, we'll see counts of those interested in the Project, and it will be fun for students and others to have an easy location to view the flags of the many countries of the world.  When art education and all education transcends the four walls of the classroom learning is exponential! 21st century learning!

The Worldwide Color Wheel Project is a growing student-based art education phenomenon! I would love for you to join the project! It's simple and easy! Students create art inspired by the color wheel (No teaching posters!) and share it with students in another community or country using social or virtual media such as Skype. Everyday more and more components are being added to the project.  This Blog is fairly new and it will be developed more with some time.  For now, however, please view the following web links related to the Worldwide Color Wheel Project and email worldwidecolorwheel@gmail.com to get started on the project with your students!

The Worldwide Color Wheel Project

The Worldwide Color Wheel Project was created in 2012 by Trina Harlow, art teacher, at Folsom Elementary School in Prosper, Texas. The project's goal is to color the globe, one student at a time using art and technology. These are some of the first Worldwide Color Wheel Projects.  The project was also shared with The American School of Monterrey, Mexico and art teacher Barbara Martinez.  Harlow and Martinez's students Skyped and shared their efforts. It was a meaningful experience for both students and teachers. The project is growing and changing and has recently added a humanitarian aspect as well. Art has the ability to cross borders and boundaries.  Art has the ability to unite people groups, cultures, and customs.  Art has the ability to heal. Art has the ability to spread joy.
