Color Mixed Lizards!

This week we reflected on the color wheel made last week and tried color mixing in a little different way....
We began by looking at photographs of lizards on the ipad for our subject. Next, students drew a lizard using oil pastels. Each table pulled two primary color cards from a stack.
After a demonstration of wet-on-wet watercolor technique students used the two colors that their table pulled to color their lizards. For example, if the two colors were blue and yellow they would first brush plain water onto their lizard to wet it. Next, load their brush with yellow and brush it onto some areas of the lizard then, add blue to other areas. Where the two colors pool together it will make green.
These fine lizards will be on display soon in the hallway!
