Blog 4 Activity on page 227 Colors

I did 2 different activities with colors and painting.  Activity number 1:  First I used watercolors and made a color-wheel mixing my own colors in the little boxes on the lid.  It was tempting to just use the many pre-made colors but for this part I didn't.  Secondly I did use the preexisting colors to create a rainbow paper.  This is something I do whenever I get near water colors.  I love the way the edges of each color blend together like in a real rainbow.










Activity number 2:  I enlisted the help of my almost four year old and some finger paints. He made some predictions of what color would come from mixing two colors.  Then he got dirty! I videotaped it please watch.

 And then we took some pictures of the final products.






We had a lot of fun and made a big mess!  Enjoy!!!

    Stacy,

    That was fabulous engaging Max the way you did. This will be a great video to show his children 30 years from now. I loved how he learned by doing. I did ask my 27 year old if he would do something similar and shockingly he said no.

    This was creative and terrific.

      Sheri,

      Thanks! HE is the type that will still participate with his mom in 20 years or so.

    Stacy,
    I really enjoyed looking at your activities. I personally was too nervous to do actually artwork by hand. I have never had any talent in that arena. Your work looks so colorful and lively! I bet it would translate really nicely to the screen also. I could see your finger paintings being really useful scanned in and used as media backgrounds. Nice job!

    Stacy,
    I loved the video you made with Max. It was reminiscent of many a day that I spent with my two sons when they were his age. I loved how enthusiastic Max is about finding out what color he was about to create. Thank you for the memory!

    Hi Stacy,

    I was so happy to see that you showcased Max in this exercise as well. Again, taking the time to use video elements within your blog posts proves to illustrate in a way that simple text would fail to accomplish. Thanks for taking the time to create these multimodal posts!

    Well done!
    Erica
