Kindergarteners dove right into painting as they finger-painted their color wheels. We tried to stay clean and used our imaginary brushes (1 finger only).
I tried out a new project with First Grade and I'm super excited with how amazing they came out. Students were instructed to draw 6 circles and turn them into birds. Once they were satisfied with their birds, students used blue, yellow and red payons to create a rainbow. The best part was when they added water to their secondary colored birds and watched the colors change.
Second and Third Graders made color wheel venn diagrams. I love how this project uses a concept they already know for a different purpose. They also make great references for color mixing.
Fourth Graders should already know how to mix colors so we worked on finding and identifying different values in magazines. Students collaged together the colors they found in rainbow order.
