This week's At-Home Project: Make a Color-Mixing Video

Okay class, it's that time of year again: Art Week!  This week our At-Home Project is to make a Color-Mixing Video to share with the class.  My students did this last year and it was AWESOME!!

(Check out the blog archive for April 11, 2014 to get ideas from my students last year).

Here are some videos from YouTube that might help get your creativity flowing.

Try to do something nobody else has done.  Make it crazy-cool and I will post it on our blog!

Teaching Video: How to Mix Colors in Water

 

Color Caterpillar: Mixing Colors 

Here are a couple videos that our students made:

 We got a lot of great videos, but I don't have room on here for all of them.

Great job to everyone who participated in the activity.  

Nice creativity and showmanship with your videos!!

Next week will be ART WEEK in Mr. Linnet's Class!

Please send an old shirt to school with your child either Monday or Tuesday for us to use in the classroom with paint.  They will probably get messy, so choose a shirt you might wish to throw away later.  We will begin the week learning about and making a color wheel, then move into mixing primary colors to create secondary colors, and will even try to make a class mural to put up around the school.  I hope to introduce some notable figures to art like Van Gogh and Picasso, and give the kids a chance to show off their artistic abilities throughout the week.  It will be a lot of fun, so if any of you are passionate about art, please use this week to share in the fun with your child!!
