Seeing Quadruple in Complementary Color Paintings




Students in Chacon’s class and Dunbar’s 6th grade classes created complementary color paintings using watercolor paint. The students first learned how complementary colors work well together and are opposites.  They learned complements of colors can be found by finding the color across from it on the color wheel. They learned red and green, purple and yellow, and blue and orange are complementary colors. Students created a simple design or picture that they drew four times in the four boxes of their paper. Each box needed to be painted with a set of complementary colors. Many students asked if there are three sets of colors what colors would the last box use. Students were allowed to paint one of the boxes any colors they wanted. The successful and wonderful pictures of some of the students’ paintings appear above. This bulletin board display is located in the Faith-North office.

Primary Color Paintings with Kinders






The students of Faith-North created beautiful paintings using the three primary colors: red, yellow, and blue. They were incredibly excited about painting for the first time. The previous class they were taught the procedures for painting in the classroom and given a demonstration of the painting activity. Then, the students explored creating the secondary colors from the three primary colors. All across the classroom, one could hear the excitement of the students as they mixed the different colors. "Look, I made purple!" "I made brown." The lesson  was a great success in allowing the children to be creative while learning blue and red makes purple.
