We are kicking off our school year with color! Classes are reviewing the basics like primaries and secondaries, warms and cools. Older students are taking it one step further by learning about tertiary colors, analogous colors and monochromatic color schemes. We are also discussing another element of art called value (lights and darks) Students discussed tints and shades and are learning how to mix and blend their own as well as create a gradient.
It's hard to squeeze in all that information, demonstration, and still have time to paint. So instead of painting during this meeting we practiced our new routine of writing down something we learned. Students then posted their responses by grade level.
