- [Sarah] Hello, and
welcome to Let's Create
with the city of Tampa's
Visual Art Studios.
My name is Sarah,
and today we'll be making
color theory emojis.
The supplies you're gonna need
are a white piece of paper,
a pencil, a marker, coloring
materials and a ruler.
So the first thing I'm gonna
do is divide my paper up
into four equal rectangles or squares.
So I'm measuring halfway down the paper
and then halfway across the
paper and drawing a line.
Then I'm gonna use some
sort of circle stencils.
So I used a roll of tape.
You can use a cup or a
lid to something or a jar,
anything that you got around
that you can use to make a circle.
Then I'm going to trace over
my pencil lines with a marker
and then I'm going to draw my
emoji faces, my favorite ones.
So I've got the one rolling his eyes,
I have the laughing crying face,
and the cool guy sunglasses.
And then I'm gonna do
the awkward smiling face.
And then once I get those worked out,
I'll trace over those with a black marker.
I like to use pencil
first when I draw things,
because it gives you
the opportunity to erase
if you do something that you don't like
or you make a mistake.
So what I'll do is I'll
draw it first with pencil,
trace over it with marker.
And then I'll go back really quick
and erase all the extra pencil lines
that I don't want anymore.
So we're gonna be talking
about the color wheel
and different, the different
colors on that color wheel
what they mean and what they are.
Our first box is gonna
be the primary colors
and I'm gonna label them.
You can label your boxes
on the front of the paper,
or you can label them on the back.
It's totally up to you.
So we're gonna do primary
colors, secondary colors,
complimentary colors and tertiary colors.
Our first box with the
emoji rolling his eyes,
is primary colors.
So these colors are the ones
you can't make from any other color.
They are red, yellow, and blue.
So I'm gonna use crayon,
because I like the way
they label the crayons.
They're very self
explanatory, if you will.
They say exactly what they are.
So I'm gonna use red,
I'm gonna find the crayon that says red,
and I'm gonna use that one.
And then I'm gonna find
the crayon that says blue,
and I'm gonna use that one.
And then I'll find the
crayon that says yellow
and I'll use that one.

So you can color these any way you like
you can use polka dots or stripes.
Totally up to you.
I'm just gonna do a real simple diagonal
half and half on my rectangle.
So the next box is gonna be secondary.
These are in between your primary colors.
So that's green, orange and purple.
These are the colors that you can make
with the primary colors.
So if you were using paint,
you could mix blue and
yellow and make green.
You could mix red and
blue and make purple.
And you could mix red and
yellow and make orange.
So I'll color this box
with my secondary colors.
And the next one is complementary colors.
These are the colors that
complement each other.
They're across from each
other on the color wheel.
So I'm gonna pick two that I like
and I'm gonna color my complimentary box,
with orange and blue.
You can use all of the
complimentary colors if you want to
or you can just use the two.
And the next one is tertiary colors.
So these are in between your secondary
and your primary colors.
So it's a mixture of those.
So yellow green, yellow
orange, blue green or teal,
red violet or red purple,
which are, those two are my favorites.
So I'm gonna use blue green.
And I'm gonna use the
red purple or red violet.

So here we are, there's my example
of the color theory emojis.
And these are examples of other students,
other kids work that they did.
And these are some of my favorites.
They're very creative and they
use some different emojis.
So get creative with it, have a good time
and learn some color theory.
And thank you for joining me today.
Join us again soon for another installment
of Let's Create with the city
of Tampa's Visual Art Studios.
And remember, stay calm,
stay kind, stay safe
and always stay creative
