Checklist for Word SmartArt Cluster Diagrams

Open Word & choose SmartArt from the tabs near the top. Choose Relationship, then Radial Cluster. Make six (6) copies, give each one a different major color name

—blue, green, yellow, brown/red, white/grey—with one cluster diagram to spare in case you need to overlap or start over, and save them on your Word document.

Fill in your cluster diagrams with your own imaginative, descriptive, evocative names for all 18-or-so tints and shades the class has chosen from the original painting.
