Mixing Colors

The Centipedes are having fun with colors... exploring them alone and also adding more colors. Today they eachThey each chose a color to start with then added a color one at a time.  The options were the primaries - yellow, blue, red, and white and black to create shades of the colors.   Their choices were limited, but what they could make was boundless.
 Lena wanted to start with yellow.   Kaya chose blue to begin.
 Eva chose red.  Eva comment right away that as she moved the red paint across her white paper, her paint looked pink in some place.  "Look I made pink here."  Next she wanted to add blue to her mix to see what it would do.
Lena and Kaya chose to add a second color.  Remarking how their colors changed making green and light blue on their paper.

  Both Lena and Kaya wanted to see how black would effect their colors.  Lena's green turned darker and Kaya's light blue turned a bit grey.  They watched and moved their paint brush about, seeing how each stroke changed their painting more, blending and changing the colors.

 Myla took a turn painting and found how she could make purple "Whoa look I made purple."
 Chloe wanted make the color red.  For her second color she wanted green, how did Lena make it? Green wasn't a choice of paint color?  She decided to try yellow to see what would happen. 
 We will continue to explore and have fun with colors throughout the week, seeing how we can make new colors, how they mix and work together using various media.
