Class started with a discussion of color and how it comes from light and pigment. We studied the color wheel, learning about primary, secondary,intermediate and complementary colors. I was determined to get some concepts into them so we went on to discuss triadic, analogous and monochromatic color harmonies and looked at examples of these in contemporary and historic paintings.
After that, we explored color mixing in a simple, yet extremely fun, activity using just primary colors. This generated a lot of excitement as the kids discovered pictures in their creations. I can't wait to see what they do with these "splotches" next week!
