Some more color mixing fun!

Oooooosss and Ahhhhhhhhhhhssss!

I love hearing the excited gasps from all the kids when we paint! Mixing the primary colors of red, yellow and blue to make the secondary colors of orange, green and purple is like magic to a 7 year old. We talked about the differences between geometric and organic shapes and how geometric shapes are very solid and man made and usually have angles (except circle and oval) and how organic shapes move, change and remind us of nature. We looked at the collage work of Henri Matisse and made our own collage and are now working on creating patterns and textures with painting.
