Colorful Chameleons
For this project, we studied the color wheel and discussed Primary and Secondary colors. Students drew a chameleon and painted it using only the Primary colors which are red, yellow, and blue!
We practiced an artist trick for mixing colors where you start with the lighter color and then mix in a little bit of the darker color until you get it just right. This way of mixing paint will help save you time and paint!
Yellow + Red = Orange
Red + Blue = Purple
Yellow + Blue = Green
Did you know that Chameleon's do Not actually change the color of their skin based on their surroundings? They change the color of their skin based on temperature and mood. Crazy, huh?!
