Yesterday’s painting class was loads of fun for the kids because other than the stipulation that they work with a palette of complementary colors they were free to paint whatever they chose. First we looked at the many paintings I have done which are based on a palette of complements and then we played with the digital color wheel at paintquality.com, which is interactive and helped them choose their paint colors. They each picked about six colors from the big bin of Delta Ceramcoat craft paints and settled in to work. They boys asked to paint inside and they assembled chairs around the big table, while the girls took up the usual painting table on the patio. They all painted independently for an hour and they seemed to enjoy one another’s company as they worked. Here is the work they produced, I think it is wonderful and I know they have a better understanding of complementary colors now.
As you may imagine, the table we are painting has changed quite a bit. I’ll get a photo of that up soon. For now, I am back to the house construction project
