Week 1 and 2

These past two weeks were spent making some seriously amazing 12 part color wheels.  Most of these wonderful kiddos knew exactly what primary and secondary colors were.  Tertiary colors were picked up on quickly.  We first practiced our ruler using skills to grid off 3x3 squares.  We painted the squares one by one, first using our primary colors, then mixing those for our secondary.  Then the kids had to use the secondary colors and add in a little bit more of the primary to get their red-orange, yellow-orange, blue-violet, red-violet, blue-green and yellow-green.  After our squares were cut, the kids used their imaginations to glue their different colors into their own unique color wheel!  We had some minecraft inspired, some hearts, some triangles and more.  Loving the willingness of these kids and their creativity.  We are going to make some beautiful art.

Please help and encourage your kids to keep their art safe.  They all wanted to take their art home ASAP, but we definitely want to keep our pieces intact so we can show off their favorite at the end of the semester.  Thank you.
