STUDY OF SINGLE HUES AND THEIR SEQUENCE. Two Years.

_FIRST GRADE LESSONS._

1. Talk about familiar objects, to bring out color names, 2. as toys, flowers, clothing, birds, insects, etc.

3. Show soap bubbles and prismatic spectrum.

4. Teach term HUE. Hues of flowers, spectrum, plumage of birds, etc.

5. Show MIDDLE[35] RED. Find other reds.

6. Show MIDDLE YELLOW. Find other yellows, and compare with reds.

7. Show MIDDLE GREEN. Find other greens, with reds and yellows.

8. Show MIDDLE BLUE. Find other blues, with preceding hues.

9. Show MIDDLE PURPLE. Find other purples, with preceding hues.

10-15. Review FIVE MIDDLE HUES,[35] match with colored papers, and place in circle.

16-20. Show COLOR SPHERE. Find sequence of five middle hues.

Memorize order.

21. Middle red imitated with crayon, named and written by initial R.

22. Middle yellow by initial Y.

23. Middle green by initial G.

24. Middle blue by initial B.

25. Middle purple by initial P.

26-30. Review, using middle hues[35] in borders and rosettes for design.

_Aim._--To recognize sequence of five middle hues. To name, match, imitate, write, and arrange them.

_SECOND GRADE LESSONS._

1-3. Review sequence of five middle hues.[35]

4. Show a hue INTERMEDIATE between red and yellow. Find it in objects.

5. Compare with red and yellow.

6. Recognize and name YELLOW-RED. Match, imitate, and write YR.

7-8. Show GREEN-YELLOW between green and yellow. Treat as above, and write GY.

9-10. Show BLUE-GREEN between blue and green.

and write BG.

11-12. Show PURPLE-BLUE between purple and blue.

and write PB.

13-14. Show RED-PURPLE between red and purple.

and write RP.

15-20. Make circle of ten hues. Place Intermediates, and memorize order so as to repeat forward or backward. Match, imitate, and write by initials.

21-25. Find sequence of ten hues on COLOR SPHERE. Compare with hues of natural objects.

26-30. Review, using any two hues in sequence for borders and rosettes.

_Aim._--To recognize sequence of ten hues, made up of five middle[35]

hues and the five intermediates. To name, match, write, imitate, and arrange them.

[Footnote 35: The term MIDDLE, as used in this course of color study, is understood to mean only the five princ.i.p.al hues which stand midway in the scales of VALUE and CHROMA. Strictly speaking, their five intermediates are also midway of the scales; but they are obtained by mixture of the five princ.i.p.al hues, as shown in their names, and are of secondary importance.]

STUDY OF SINGLE VALUES AND THEIR SEQUENCE. Two Years.

_THIRD GRADE LESSONS._

1. Review sequence of ten hues.

2. Recognize, name, match, imitate, write, and find them 3. on the COLOR SPHERE. Also in objects.

4. Teach use of term VALUE. Color value recognized apart from color hue.

5. Find values of red, lighter and darker than the middle value already familiar.

7. THREE VALUES of RED. Find on sphere. Name as LIGHT, MIDDLE, and DARK values of red.

8. THREE VALUES of RED. Imitate with crayons, and write them as 3, 5, and 7.

9. THREE VALUES of YELLOW. Compare with above.

10. Recognize, name, match, and imitate with crayons.

11. THREE VALUES of GREEN. Compare, and treat as above.

12. Find on sphere and in objects.

13. THREE VALUES of BLUE.

14.

15. THREE VALUES of PURPLE.
