Magical Color Mixing!



We had a great week of discussing secondary color by color mixing! It is just like magic when two colors mix together to make a new one! This week I read White Rabbits Color Book By Alan Baker. Afterward, students made color wheels beginning with primary colors, of course, to mix their secondary colors. Once the color wheels were complete there was strong desire to learn how to make brown! (The rabbit at the end of the story turns himself brown) On a separate piece of paper students experimented with all three primary colors by mixing them to create brown. Some even painted the shape of a rabbit!
There is such a wonderful enthusiasm with this age about color mixing it's inspiring!
