Beautiful Sunsets in Philadelphia

The students at Cione got the chance to paint with water colors. We started off with a color mixing exercise, which they all proved to be pros at. They learned that red and yellow make orange, blue and yellow make green, and blue and red make purple.

They also experimented with mixing colors at the bottom of their paper. I encouraged them to try making some new colors. They found out how to make brown (or other muted colors) by combining secondary colors together. 

Once the students completed their color charts, they began painting a sunset on a new piece of paper. The students loved creating their own beautiful sunsets!

While their pieces were drying, they got to sing and dance with Mr. Lee. When they finished music time, they revisited their sunsets and glued on a silhouette of the Philadelphia skyline. All of their pieces looked beautiful!
