Circle your favorite color below:
Red Orange Black Green White Pink Yellow Purple Brown Blue
We did not use these 4 colors: Black, White, Dark Green, Dark Blue for this project because I was concerned the grids would be too muddy.
I showed this paint mixing video for watercolors to give the kids an idea of "how" to mix in a timely manner.

Then, I had the kids start mixing colors and painting on the grid.
Also, I grabbed this project from HERE, Experiments in Art Education. Great post!
What Happened?
Well, in middle school my classes are only so long. By the time they got going mixing, they would have to leave. Then, the next day it was another start and forgetting which colors that they had done and not done.
So.
Being a teacher with a LITTLE common sense, I told the kids to just paint the grids in colors they liked.
We got that done and hunkered down with some Blind Contour Drawing.

Click HERE for a Blind Contour Drawing Video that is also very good!
We used mirrors and I told the kids DO NOT LOOK AT YOUR DRAWING and DO NOT PICK UP YOUR SHARPIE!
We did several on scrap paper before the kids did their actual blind contour drawing on their 100 square grid.
Finally, you can have a LšK!
