If you could only have 3 colors...


...to paint a beautiful flower garden, what three colors would you ask for?  Pink, turquoise, green, orchid... those were some of the answers. After listing some student choices on the board, the students were able to vote for the ones they wanted.  Strategy among the tables led the students to the grouping of red, yellow and blue.  The primary colors.  After some fun with food coloring and water - we made a color wheel on the board and in our sketchbooks.
Check back next week when we experiment with color mixing.
