6th Grade - Color Spectrum

What a beautiful area we live in! 
The biodiversity of the plants in our native gardens is incredible!

yellow + blue = green
...but what shade of green?

In an attempt to explore the endless possibilities of color mixing, I had 6th graders head outside and collect 3 leaves each. We then lined up all that we collected and were amazed at the spectrum of color. We then discussed ratios and proportions and we began to understand how to recreate so many spectacular colors. 


Stay tuned for our leaf inspired artwork that students are currently working on!
