The Worldwide Color Wheel Project



The Worldwide Color Wheel Project was created in 2012 by Trina Harlow, art teacher, at Folsom Elementary School in Prosper, Texas. The project's goal is to color the globe, one student at a time using art and technology. These are some of the first Worldwide Color Wheel Projects.  The project was also shared with The American School of Monterrey, Mexico and art teacher Barbara Martinez.  Harlow and Martinez's students Skyped and shared their efforts. It was a meaningful experience for both students and teachers. The project is growing and changing and has recently added a humanitarian aspect as well. Art has the ability to cross borders and boundaries.  Art has the ability to unite people groups, cultures, and customs.  Art has the ability to heal. Art has the ability to spread joy.
