We did a little impromptu color mix paint work the other day that ended up in some independent mixing exploration. This was a clear reminder to me that it’s the process, not the product that counts.
We started out with two ramekins of liquid watercolor paint: one yellow, one blue. I had cut various sizes of circles our of watercolor paper and they painting them yellow and then mixed in the blue to make – to TalTal’s surprise – GREEN!
They had fun magically turning their circles green. Then TT took it further and designed some circles on a full sheet of paper and then mixed colors of her own choice to fill in the circles.
Some circles turned a brown mess and some turned beautiful shades of purple. This was a fun project that led to self exploration. You could continue and do more circles that portrayed the whole color wheel and then make a poster or a color wheel mobile.
