I do a colored pencil color wheel that my students seem to really like. We use a compass to draw the color wheel (keeping compass the same size draw first circle then point point of compass somewhere on first circle and draw 2nd circle, keep placing point of compass on the line intersections of last circle drawn and first circle drawn)
I teach students how to achieve different values and carefully layer colored pencil to blend colors. They choose how to ‘finish’ the background.
I don’t know why but my students really become engaged on this project

I did a wine and canvas-esque experience with my 8th graders. our school has a lot of canvases so each student got a small, 8x10, canvas and I played a video by The Art Sherpa on youtube. the kids had voted on which painting we created, I gave them 3 options. it took a few weeks but it was really fun and even those who didnt like pinting still enjoyed the experience.

We talked foreground middle ground and background and created each layer then assembled :

It only took me 7 years to figure this system out.... posting in case it helps anyone else! I color coded my classes and printed off numbers according to the number of kids in my classes. I then assign each kid a number that corresponds with my gradebook. When they turn in their projects, they put their number with it. This way, no contact and I can easily see who has and hasn't turned in their projects yet. I take the list down once they remember their number.
