Color Day

Today the kids were exposed to much more than just the color wheel.

They learned the terms tints and shades.

They talked about complementary colors, hues, contrast, and saturation.

They learned that monochromatic is a deceptive term as a monochromatic painting can be extremely colorful.
After viewing many pieces that demonstrated different types of color palates, the kids had a chance to create their own.

It was fantastic to watch the kids use only the primary colors, black and white to create the diverse hues, tints and shades.
