As part of our exploration of the elements of art (colour) students created complementary colour patterns. We read the book, “Hello, Green Fox”, by Eric Carle, which shows how the colour opposites can trick our eyes. Students learned which colours are the opposites of each other: red/green; purple/yellow; and blue/orange. They learned that opposites, when placed next to each other, make each other seem brighter and almost appear to glow. They also got a chance to get ready for making winter snowflakes through the cutting technique. Check them out on the bulletin board outside our classroom, if you are in the building.
