Color Mixing Ballons
To get started, start by reviewing the color settings with your students. If you were teaching in high school, maybe 1 primary color + 1 primary color = 1 secondary color… but 1 primary color + 1 secondary color = 1/3 (medium burgundy)?
This tutorial is great for learning the third color!
After checking, give the students a strong drawing and ask them to draw at least 6 (or 7) if they want to add a second red balloon next to the purple one. small trapeziums below) support each other. The size of the paper is completely up to you, but in this tutorial you will find several different shapes (for example, long and narrow).
After drawing the balloon, ask students to paint each balloon in watercolor. The first ball must be red, the third yellow and the fifth blue. Personally, I like to paint them on one side of a more colorful balloon (to help create imagination), but the highlights we'll add later will do just that.
This may be the end of the chapter. This is a great stopping point as it allows the primary color balls to dry completely before painting the secondary color balls. You want the paint to accidentally dry out so it doesn't bleed.
If you're using water-based paper, the paint will stay on the water for a long time, so it's important to make sure it's completely dry before applying.
If you use thick paper (recommended), the ink will dry in just a few minutes.
Given the sequence of the rainbow, students must draw the second color on the remaining empty balloons. This is a good opportunity for students to solve problems by choosing the right color. For example, there is an empty ball between the red and yellow balls. What colors are obtained by mixing red and yellow? orange!
When students start painting in high school and laying on base color balls, they start to see third (or middle) colors!
What if the purple ball overlaps the blue ball? Made it blue and purple!
Once everything is completely dry, give the students crayons to add the tie and ribbon to the bottom of the balloon.
Then, using white chalk paste, have them add a marker (or more) to each balloon. For more realistic lighting, the curve should be aligned with the balloon (rounded at the edge of the balloon). Have students mix in some lemon paste with their fingers.
The main thing is exactly how the balloon looks! :)
To add a nice finishing touch, try pinning pieces of Black Paper Art, and then using these colorful pieces of paper (haha, I know you do this), add some scrapbooking pieces around the edges. I think this final touch will make this tutorial even more fun!
