Color Mixing, Color Math, Color Bursts!

We are working on color mixing! Such an exciting lesson! 

We have read Mouse Paint, Color Tree and Monsters Love Color over the last three weeks to prepare for mixing today! The children really enjoyed creating three new colors from just primary colors!

After we worked on color wheels we did color math. ie) R+Y=O, B+Y=G, B+R= P

The upper level did color bursts with a writing component. The mixed their own colors and painted with q-tips. Next they chose three descriptor words and finally wrote one word to describe how their work made them feel.
