Art: Color Mixing

4/1/2014

0 Comments

 
We don't get to mix colors as often as the students would like in preschool. For this activity, we gave each child her own plate so that she could mix her own colors. 
Each child was able to choose three colors; we also gave them white.

The children chose very different techniques for mixing their colors. Some chose to mix the colors on the plate and others chose to mix on their paper. They also chose different techniques for sponge painting.
Process art helps develop scientific thought through exploration of cause and effect.
These children are experimenting through their color choices and technique. 
Picture
While the children are working on their project we help create their inner dialogue and build their vocabulary by commenting on what they are doing.


"I see Aubrie is dabbing lots of different colors on her paper."
"Nicholas is mixing his colors on his plate before he paints with them."

"Allison is swiping the paint across her paper with her sponge."
