Don’t you just love spring? The colors of the flowers brighten up my day. The beauty of the cherry blossoms never ceases to give me a smile. Reason why, in this week’s link up, I will talk about the things colors and the things that you can do with it, to see a mood.
Check out some of these fun activities from our previous link up that features the use of colors!
Featured posts for Playing with Colors this week:
Flower Water Tube Stamping by Montessori on Mars. Wonderful activity for creating beautiful materials through color mixing using stamps!
Montessori-Inspired Color Activities for Toddlers from Living Montessori Now. A great way to introduce young children to colors.
Learning About Seasons from Planting Peas. You will see how they use color variations to set the seasons. Amazing!
Under the Sea Preschool Activities from Natural Beach Living. I love the use of blue water beads to setup an ocean senosrial tub! The use of colors can definitely simulate a habitat!
Art Appreciation Activities from Every Start is Different. A compilation of art activities for kids!
This week on The Pinay Homeschooler, we create warm and cool colours! Mavi mentioned something like “It’s making summer and winter Mom.”
We are doing a lot of artworks at home. Just the other day, we were looking at the masterpieces of famous artists like Monet and Van Gogh. We talked about the techniques the artists used and how they set the mood of their paintings. In particular, we talked about the colours they used during the daytime and night time. In effect, we ended up talking about warm and cool colours which eventually brought us to this activity.
So Mavi and I practiced mixing paints to create our own warm and cool colours. He was even more excited that we get to name our own colours!
Warm colours are colours of fire and sun, yellow and colour tones of red and orange. Can you see the names of his colours? Yellow Golden Sun of Heavens and Lobster Bloody Red!
Cool colours are those of water, violet and colour tones of blue and green. Love how he created his names: Gods Light and Coral Sea Blue.
This is a simple activity that you can do with your kids anytime of the day! Less preparation but with much to learn. Now with this knowledge, we can create paintings with proper mood settings!
By the way, about the coloured tempera paints we are using. The brand is Gouache Liquide Tempera Paints. I am very particular with the paints we use at home because Mavi has asthma. This brand has negligible smell and I love how strong and vivid the colours are.
So start making you colours now and have fun naming them!
Pin this for later!
