What Color?

Your choice of color can compliment or detract from a drawing. These drawings were drawn and colored by students who were studying Asian elephants and the natural habitat of the Asian elephant. See how color adds to their drawings.

Yellow Sky, Red Sun
by Dustin, age 7
Dustin chose yellow for the sky and red for the sun. Does his elephant live in a hot place? Yellow and red help make the place look hot. He colored the grass green. Rain must have fallen in this hot place!

Palm Trees and Blue Sky
by Jordan, age 7
Jordan used blue for the sky. She colored the ground an orange-brown. Do you think Jordan's elephant lives in a hot place? Does Dustin's drawing look hotter than Jordan's drawing?

White and Turquoise World
by Jordan O. age 7
Jordan O. colored the bushes and the palm tree leaves turquoise. The sun is a small yellow ball in the sky. She left the ground and the sky white. Does Jordan's elephant drawing appear cooler than the other two drawings? Her color choice may not seem to make sense, until it is seen with several other animal drawings she made using turquoise and white in the backgrounds. Interesting!
