Esme "Can we create tints and shades only from primary colours?"
In most situations, doing the work and experiencing new discoveries is a better learning experience than just discussing it. In order to answer Esme's question, I gave the children the opportunity to explore with paint. The children each had primary and secondary colours, as well as white and black paint. On a palette, the children freely mixed and created different colours, tints and shades. While exploring this process, Esme answered her own question. "I am adding white to purple and it's turning lighter. I am creating a tint."
Esme "We can create tints and shades to all the colours in the world."
The children painted with the colours they mixed and they are very eager to take their art home and share it with their family.
