1st+GRADE

The first graders have been learning all about colors and color mixing.

They know how to use the **PRIMARY COLORS** to mix the **SECONDARY COLORS.**

They also learned how to mix colors with white to make **TINTS** and how to mix colors with black to make **SHADES.**



Students used their knowledge of color mixing to paint large rainbows**.** Students showed the colors of the rainbow in the correct order, just as they have been learning in science. They used only the **PRIMARY COLORS** to mix all of the colors of the rainbow. After students painted their rainbows, we discussed different types of brushstrokes. Students practiced thick and thin strokes, and different types of lines. They finished their rainbows by creating a pattern on top of their color stripes using black.



Next, using everything that they learned about color mixing, students designed and painted a fish. Some of the fish kept their "fishy" appearance after being painted, while others turned into intriguing abstract paintings.
