A limited palette of watercolors does not have to be limiting! Yes… I’m kind of pleased with myself for that sentence! But it’s true. You’ll be happy to know you don’t need that luxury box set of 80 colors to get fabulous mixing results with watercolors. However, it does take a little bit of care

Your little one tells you they want to paint. And you get that heavy sigh and think of the mess that you'll have to clean up afterward. But you know it's a great learning experience for them, so you smile and get all the supplies out. Hands on activities have so many benefits for our
I am linking up with Fourth Grade Frolics for Monday Made It. This year I am going with a bird theme in my room. It just kind of happened. I already had a great picture I bought last year at my school's art auction. Then I happened upon these, and that's all she wrote! I have a small space above some of my cabinets in my room. Over the years I have tried to put decorative items on the soffit, but to no avail. It was just too small of a distance from cabinet to ceiling and nothing looked right, until now. Yay! I found these at Kirklands and they were the perfect size. I then saw these bird houses at Hobby Lobby. Again, just the right size. Now I was happy. :) I bought the houses and some paint and this is what happened: I am going to snip the string off the small houses, but they came in handy as I was painting them. I am heading up to my room to add them to my decor. Once my room is put together I will snap some photos and post them. Of course I am thinking of bird things to do with my little sweeties once school starts. I saw this on Pinterest and immediately knew I would be doing something like this. I then found some free bird clipart on TpT and made this. It is part of my upcoming bird pack I am working on. If you would like a copy click HERE. I also made a PowerPoint presentation for one of my classes last week. It goes with the book 'The Day the Crayons Quit'. I plan on using it on my interactive whiteboard to check comprehension after I read the story to my little learners. They will be able to choose an answer, touch it, and the correct answer will stay on the screen. I would love any feedback if you choose to view it and/or use it with your class. The Day the Crayons Quit - Revised from lolaragan Thanks for reading! Have a great day. :)
Creating A Classroom Community Through Art Part 1 Red, yellow, and blue are great alone, but when you mix them you create something beautiful. This is how lasting friendships are formed. Two individuals coming together to create something beautiful - FRIENDSHIP. The children pick a friend to work with and were given a large sheet of paper to decorate. We used tempera paint (red, yellow, blue), flannel sheets, and plastic plates. We diluted the paint with water to make it easier for it to pass through the flannel sheet. The children then placed one hand in one of the primary colors, and made handprints on the table. "What does the paint feel like on your hands?" "What do you think will happen if you hold hands and mix your colors?" "Can you create that color again?" "How many different colors can you make?" How can you make that color brighter?" Holding Hands to Mix Colors Color Mixing: Yellow + Blue = Green Color Mixing: Red + Blue = Purple One of the final art pieces. This is a working piece of art that the children will continue to add to, and extend their ideas. More to come very soon!
Over time, I've done a few color mixing activities to help my children learn about the primary colors and how they combine to form secondary colors. We previously did a simple color theory activity using

La mezcla de colores puede ser una tarea fascinante, pero para obtener la mayoría de los colores que vemos a diario, solo hay que conocer los tres colores primarios: rojo, amarillo y azul. Combinar estos tres tonos en las proporciones adecuadas puede crear una amplia gama de tonalidades, desde los neutros apagados hasta los vibrantes y brillantes. Sin embargo, para dominar la técnica de la mezcla de colores primarios, es importante comprender cómo es posible crear una multitud de tonos y matices a partir de solo estos tres colores básicos.

You’ve seen them... Right ? Those beautiful looking watercolor charts with a rainbow of fantastic colors. It’s only natural that you want to make one yourself.

Today, 2nd grade embarked on a new project! New to me and certainly new to them! I saw this awesome idea on Abby Schukei's blog, Art, Eat, Tie Dye, Repeat and decided to give it a go! Here's how we created ours! Materials: 90lb 6x18" paper 6x18" Tru Ray construction paper Crayola oil pastels Fiskar scissors Pencils Big Kid's Choice flat paintbrushes Crayola Artista II tempera paint Day 1: Talk about the Element of Art, VALUE! Value is super duper important, y'all! Value is the lights and darks of a color. We use value to shade things, and to make our pictures just look more AWESOME! ;) I like to say, Value adds $Value$! Need another example of Value...how about the ever popular Ombre craze? It's everywhere! You can have ombre from head to toe if you wanted! Well, we're making ombre ice cream! lol Today, we're focusing on the lights or the TINTS. I tell them, not like the tent you sleep in! A TINT is when you add white to a color. (A shade is when you add black to a color, but we're not doing that) I gather them around my middle table in my room and show them how to paint a 6x18" piece of paper. I start with my plain color, and slowly add dollops of white to make the color get lighter and lighter! I remind them to paint in one direction to make the color smoother too. After I paint my long paper, I show them how to paint their cone paper. I used oil pastels to make crisscrossing diagonal lines. (peach and brown from Crayola's oil pastels) Then, they got to work! Here's Mrs. Fitch's class, hard at work, making their Tints & cones! Day 2: I'll get them to trace an ice cream template on the back of their paper, cut them out, and assemble them on a complementary color of their ice cream! Mrs. Fitch's class doing a great job! Here's Mrs. Parsons' class, hard at work!
One of my summer 2022 goals is to work on my watercolor landscape technique and style. My first step was naturally to put together a portable palette that had colors I wanted to explore while doing this.
