A fun colour mixing activity creating dark and light colours.
What will my children learn?
During this lesson your children will –
Learn to understand how colour changes when black or white is added, and how to control lightness and darkness.
Be inspired by Klee’s use of layered colour and tonal variation, and use light and dark to suggest depth, form, and space in their work.
Observe how a single colour can transform in may ways, building awareness of colour dynamics.
Practice their colour mixing techniques, reinforcing their fine motor skills.
Sharpen their ability to notice subtle differences in tone, encouraging them to make bolder, more informed colour choices.
Create their own unique painting using the tints and shades they have created.
