Beginnings - Creating Color





Our work began in Studio with experimentation with color. Children, Kindergarten through Fifth Grade (and many adults on back to school night) used these three tubs of primary colors to mix their own unique color combinations. They thought up interesting new names for their colors and wrote them on labels next to the cups.










Ms. Laichtman's fourth grade class was introduced to color value by the district arts teacher during a lesson on still life painting. As an extension of that concept, a small group spent their studio time arranging the cups of color according to color value. They worked together discussing the quality of the colors, assessing their intensity and creating a system for placing them in a sequence.
