100 Colors
The top 50 colors were created using watercolor while the bottom 50 were created using acrylic paint.
I have taught lessons about the color wheel and mixing colors and if there is one takeaway from that experience, it would be the pure joy students receive when mixing paint.
They are dumbfounded and excited by the magic of creating a new color.
This project may not be the most eye pleasing piece you will create but your students will love it!
It is the perfect way for students to experiment with color mixing, tinting and shading with two, or more, different types of paint. Before I did this project it had never occurred to me that I could change the shade of watercolors by using less water. It is a great way to teach these principles but also allow students to experiment and discover them on their own.
