Learning the different colors

Introduction

In this webquest, we are going to take on a journey into the color wheel. It is important to know what the primary colors are and how to mix them to create other colors. Without mixing colors, we would have a very limited variety of different colors!

Task

The goal of this is for students to engage in learning about the different types of colors that can be made with the primary colors of blue, yellow, and red. 

Process

1. Find 2 objects in the classroom that are not primary colors.

2. Think of the possible color mixtures required to produce the given color.

3. Try your ideas through mixing these colors with the provided paint, paintbrushes, and paper.

4. Once the final color is reproduced, paint a picture using this color and another non-primary color of your choice.
