Yesterday we finished mixing our skin colors using red, black, brown, white, and yellow paint. We talked about how the paint swatches were close to our skin color but not exactly the same. Using the paint they had more control when mixing just the right color that matched closely to their skin tone. They had to make a lot of decisions. How much paint to add? Which colors to mix together? Is it too light or too dark? And what do we need to do if it needs to be darker or lighter?
The children came up with some great names for their skin color
Anne: Pink powder puff
Brooklyn: Pinkie
Charlotte: Sunset
Eli: Mustard and ketchup
Farrah: Maple syrup
Grace: Salty color
Jenna: Mermaid
Kaia: Cupcakes, chocolate and unicorns
Livio: Paint
Lucy: Milkshake
Max: Bacon goodies
Maxi: Pillow
Mila: Strawberries
Ren: Spiderman's web
Today we started painting our model magic self portraits. At group time we took a closer look at our eye color.
We took another look at the book Shades of Black and looked at our eyes in the mirror to help us think about our eye color before using a basket of glass beads to find one that matched closely.
For storytime Max's dad, Seth joined us and read
