Red + Blue = ?


I adore teaching and I especially adore teaching ART. As messy as it can be, the creativity of the kids and final products are always worth it. Today was no different. I wanted them to explore the world of primary and secondary colours so I gave them cups of blue, red and yellow water to play with. A 5 minute activity evolved into 50 minutes of pure delight and discovery as they...


experimented, dropped...


mixed...


recorded... and yelped with delight with every color concocted,
"Mrs. Lai, look I made ______ (fill in blank with any random color)!
"


and in the end...like it always inevitably does...it becomes brown.
