Color charts (wheels) are a way to organize information about color theory. In the art classroom, we use the color wheel for many applications: color mixing, color theory, light theory, printmaking, and the list goes on!
Students in this lesson will create or invent a system to organize 12 colors: 3 primary (red, yellow and blue), 3 secondary(orange, green and violet) and 6 intermediate/tertiary colors (yellow-green, yellow-orange, red- orange, red-violet, blue-green, blue-violet).

Content Objective:Students will make a design for a color chart that shows color relationships.
Ancillary* Objectives:
Students will learn mathematical terms for 6 and 12 sided polygons.
Students will problem solve an answer.
Students will learn about color theory, light theory and additive color theory.
Students will apply art concepts to other subject matter.
* I love using this word (ancillary) in it's proper usage- as a secondary, non-essential, subordinate objective. Side note: Sometimes arts classes are referred to as ancillary. When someone uses this expression, I am quick to reply "do you know what this word means" which they usually reply....ummm no? And then I edify. Ancillary is a horrible way to describe someone. It isn't a horrible way to describe something.
Okay. Okay, I'm off my soapbox now. Sheesh. You'd think I have to write a lesson or something!
Requirements:
• Primary, secondary and intermediate/tertiary colors
• Relationships between colors indicated in design
• Accurately mixed and painted colors
• Clearly labeled and spelled color names (ESL/LEP objective)
• Interpretive key
Optional:
Include other color chips from environmental sources (such as fabric, magazine cuts
Show complementary colors, tints and/or shades, neutral gray
Content objectives:
ART.6.1.04- ART.8.1.04 Explore different and unusual ways of approaching two-six particular subjects.
ART.6.1.05- ART.8.1.05 Examine the environment for evidence of 2-6 art elements and 2-6 design principals.
ART.6.1.06- ART.8.1.06 Understand the purposes of art elements, design principles in the creation of artworks, and how specific principles are used to organize art elements in 2-6 visual art works.
ART.6.1.07-ART.8.1.07 Understand the expressive qualities of specific art elements and design principles in 2-6 artworks.
ART.6.1.08- ART.8.1.08 Analyze the application of specific elements and principles in 2-6 personal works.

I have painted some color wheels to show where my paints site (and mark them), and I have also organized a sheet of paint dabs along the munsell line, which is very helpful for painting.
Thanks for posting!
