...by the way... take a look at our color wheel!

How do our students mix and paint such a wonderful array of colors?  They mix the colors they want themselves!

This is our color wheel is a work in progress.  As students mix a new color, they make a color chip... we then put in onto our color wheel as a class.  We talk about how the color was made (we use math here).  We also use art vocabulary (shade, tint, hue, primary, secondary) so that art words become second nature to us.

Students only use the primary colors of red, yellow, and blue, as well as black (not pictured) and white.
