Painting a Color Chart

As Adam approached the Easel, he immediately asked, “Are these the primary colors?” He then decided he would use the primary colors to create a color chart. He explained that by making a color chart, the other children would know which colors you could mix to create secondary colors. As he painted he explained that he put red and yellow on top and mixed them together underneath to create orange. He proceeded to mix red and blue, yellow and blue, and red, blue, and yellow. After his color chart dries on the drying rack, we plan to hang it next to the easel for other children to refer to when painting. For the past few weeks, the kindergartners have been exploring color mixing. By developing a color chart, Adam demonstrated his understanding of mixing primary colors to create secondary colors. Thank you, Adam, for making a color chart we can all use!
