Activity:

  1. Create a PowerPoint presentation

  • Presentation should be 11 slides long or longer

    1. Slide 1: Title and name

    2. Slide 2:  States that colors can convey emotion or mood

    3. Slide 3 - 10:  One slide for each of the eight colors
      (Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Purple, Black and White)

    4. Slide 11: Warm and Cool colors

    5. Slide 12: Color Schemes

    6. Any additional slides that show color concepts (optional)

    7. The End slide

  • The top of each slide should have the name of the color or title of the slide.

  • You should use at least 3 photos on each color slide. Find photos or graphics that primarily consists of each of the basic eight colors (black, white, red, green, blue, yellow, purple, orange).

  • You may NOT use photos with words already on them.

  • Each photo MUST be labeled with an appropriate mood or emotion.

  • Remember to layout your text and photos with good use of space.

  1. Save your project in your "projects" folder with your last name and first name followed by "color project"    Example:   John Smith would save the file as Smith John color project.ppt
