Kindergarten used cups and black paint to print overlapping circles. Students enthusiastically printed their papers with black circles! We were trying to make some overlap without filling our paper with too many. The next week, we watched the OK Go video about mixing secondary colors. It was my hope that students would paint (tempera cakes) some primary colors inside the shapes and sometimes mix secondary colors to paint inside. This proved to be a struggle for most. A few decided they would rather just paint all of them brown, and it caught on like wild fire in one of my classes! This class was given primary crayons to color the rest of their shapes and I was happy with how they were shaping up...we just had too much brown already painted. My other class switched to just painting the primary colors. We also had trouble with students using too much water and that caused black to mix in with their colors. Love the concept and will learn from our experimenting for an improved lesson next year!
