Students in all grades are revisiting color mixing. They are reviewing the color wheel and the three main color groups: primary, secondary, and intermediate colors. After mastering the color wheel, we will focus on value by mixing hues with black and white to create tints and shades.
Students are practicing creating a value scale using paint swatches from the hardware store. This activity checks for understanding of tints, shades, and pure hues.
Third graders are using tints and shades to make ice cream cones!
