Note: For the remaining lessons provide children with "the standard colors," which are red, yellow, blue (primary colors), orange, green, violet (secondary colors), brown, and black.

Instructors review the standard, primary, secondary, warm, and cool color categories with children:

• Green is neutral.
• Brown and black are used to form shades of the standard colors.

Instructors tell children the following color pairings are complementary colors:

• Red and green

Instructors review the concept of a "wash" with children as follows:

• A "wash" is a color spread evenly over a surface. Often associated with watercolors, "wash" also applies to colored crayons.
• The wash is the most important mechanical element in crayon drawing.

Review how to produce an even, scratch-free wash using crayons:

• Grasp the crayon with the thumb and three fingers as shown in the image.
• Rub the side of the crayon against the paper to produce an even color across the page.
• Try to make the wash a smooth as possible, free from scratches and irregularities
