We’ve created paintings using one geometric shape and one organic shape- our hand. Just like the lines coming from the shape, the warm and cool colors make a pattern too.
We read and discussed “Where the Wild Things Are ” written and illustrated by Maurice Sendak.
There are patterns throughout the book that repeat, repeat, repeat. Our Wild Things have patterns too.
Our Wild Things are not gory or mean- they just want to have a good time. They smile and dance. Some even eat pizza!
We used repetition and patterns to make the hair interesting.
We also learned about warm, cool and neutral colors.
Did you know that if you cut the color wheel in half, one side will have all the warm colors and the other will be cool?
Here is a cool video featuring a musical arrangement from Raymond Scott, a famous composer of electronic video game and 'cartoon' music. Notice the patterns in the music, as well as the patterns in the artwork on the video.
We learned that the three primary colors- Red, Yellow, and Blue- can be mixed together to make three new colors!
The new colors- Orange, Green, and Purple- are called secondary colors. We’ve made apattern with our rectangles. Can you see it?
