Painted Papers and Color Mixing for Eric Carle



The 1st and 2nd graders learned how printers use yellow, cyan, and magenta to make the secondary colors.  Then, the students had a blast moving through each table "center" to paint 6 papers in the style of Eric Carle (1 paper at each table).  We had to move very quickly to get them all done in the time we have for Art Class, but it was sure worth it!  By the end of the day, we had approximately 720 painted papers drying in the Art Room!! Many students said this was the most fun they ever had in Art Class and want to do it again, but maybe once a year is enough;-)
