Lesson Plan

Graffiti Names
Step 1: Divide and Draw
Students will divide their final paper and their
graffiti names into 8 equal rectangles. They will
lightly draw their name on their final paper,
starting in the center.
They will label each section with the correct
color. They will have two color wheels on their
paper, one in the background and one inside the
letters.

Step 2: Paint Colors


Objective: Students will mix primary colors
to create secondary and tertiary colors.

Materials
White construction paper 12x18
Pencils
Rulers
Tempera paint in red, yellow, blue and black

Motivation
Watch PBS video, The History of American
Graffiti.
Review color theory with students. Show them
how to mix primary colors to make secondary and
tertiary colors.
Demonstrate how to draw Graffiti names.
Students will print their names from
www.graffiticreator.net

Students will paint yellow in the background and


letter labeled with a Y. They will add a little red
to maybe yellow orange. Students will paint
yellow orange in the background and letter
labeled with a YO. Students will follow the same
procedure to paint all around the color wheel.
They paint the background then paint the
letters. Remind them to paint both sections so
they dont have to go back and remix colors.
Walk around to help students make sure theyre
painting all the sections.

Step 3: Outline with Black Paint


Outline the letters and the diagonal lines in the
background. If a student had trouble painting the
colors next to each other, I will also have them
outline inside their letters. I have also used black
permanent markers in the past, but found the
markers wouldnt last as long once they were
used on top of paint. Frame on black paper.
Tip: When assessing this project, look for 12
colors to be mixed correctly and painted in the
correct order of the color wheel.
