Kindergarten's Mouse Paint
Kindergarten have been learning about primary colors (red, yellow, and blue) and how to use those colors to create other colors (green, purple, and orange). We read the story, Mouse Paint, by Ellen Walsh, and then created their own mice. They were given the colors red, yellow, and blue; they had to make the colors green, purple, and orange.
First Grade Kandinsky Paintings
First grade reviewed color mixing, inspired by the work of Wassliy Kandinsky.
Second Grade Complementary Cats
Second grade after reviewing color mixing, learned about complementary colors, and how to find them on the color wheel.
Third Grade Fall Leaves
Third grade has been working hard on this project. First, learning how to draw leaves larger than life. They drew three versions of the same leaf. They replicated the original colors on the smallest leaf, inverted (complementary colors) on the second leaf, and the third leaf was their choice of colors, or left as they were.
Fourth Grade Tints and Shades
Fourth grade has been learning about the difference between tints and shades, and how to create them.
