Kindergarten:  Yellow + Blue = Green Alligators

3/8/2016

Kindergarten artists are learning about primary and secondary colors. First we looked at an alligator and chatted about the kinds of shapes and lines we see in the reptile. We drew an alligator together with pencil and then used a Sharpie to outline the lines and shapes. I put tempera cakes on the tables and we "woke up" the yellow first. The artists painted a sun and their alligator yellow. Next, we "woke up" the blue paint and just dipped the tip toe of our paintbrush in the blue and mixed it with the yellow on our alligator. We talked about how blue is much stronger than yellow so we need just a little bit of blue. After their alligator was green, the kinders painted blue water and set their artwork on the drying rack. They are very proud of their alligators and their mixing skills!

I found this project on Whitney Elementary School's Artsonia page.
