The great misadventure of attempting to find a Color wheel!

Well, a few days ago my little sister decided she wanted to maybe take art class. I told her that I would teach her art class if she wanted to to that. So I decided to get my little brother and another one of my little sisters in on it. The first class is today.

The lesson for today was going to be the color wheel. I believe it is extremely important, and I also think it was my first lesson when I started taking art. We still use it for reference after Years of taking art, and I am now is a pretty advanced class working with oil paints.

"Oh, that will be easy!" I thought. "I'll just draw up a few and have them paint the colors on!" Sure. . . .  Easier said than done!

 After somewhere between 30 mins to an hour of trying to make some color wheels. .

"Ok then, I'll find some color wheel printables on the internet!" That too, is easier said than done! There is like a TON of different variations, and None of them were exactly was I was looking for. I wanted one like the first one I made, and could not find one.

After about 30 mins of trying to find a color wheel printable. .
"Ok, I will try Paint on my computer!" Yeah, that one didn't work either.

so for a little while i went back and forth between attempting to create one and trying to find one.

Then i remembered it. . .
GOOGLE DOCS TO THE RESCUE!!!!!!!!!!
It has a drawing tool! and Guess what? IT WORKED!
So to save you the trouble of trying to find on or make one, Here it is!

Yellow goes in the top circle, Blue in the right circle and Red in the left. 
Secondaries go in the squares.
Tertiary colors go in the triangles.

Well, there you go, In case you were looking for a color wheel, I hope this one will help you!
