Silhouettes, tints, hues and shades

6th and 7th grade girls defined their silhouettes with paint and words describing them. First girls described themselves using a bubble map. Next they looked up synonyms for their describing words. They then wrote their describing words in decorative text. Lastly, they painted their silhouettes using tints and shades of colors they they mixed themselves.

Tint, Shade, Hue

4th graders learned about tints, hues and shades. A hue is a pure color, a tint is a hue mixed with white and a shade is a hue mixed with black. 4th graders mixed all the colors themselves and had to balance how much black and white to mix to create a range of colors. The results are gorgeous
