Kindergarten Color

Each year I start off with teaching or reviewing the color wheel. For my kindergartners this is a time to teach techniques of painting and cleaning up more than just colors.

You can see here the new painting system I have adapted. The paintbrushes have a "house" they start and finish in, making sure the hair is on top like on our heads.

They used the primary colors to attempt to mix colors when we closed the paper and rubbed them together.

We learned and practiced how to wash off the paintbrush. We bounce it on the bottom of the water cup and then wipe the hair off the side. No stiring or tapping!

Here are some of the finished products!
