Welcome to the Art Room!

Hey there! Welcome back to the art room. Today, we’re going to have some fun with colors. There are four colors that I’m really excited to practice with you. Let’s explore them together!

Pink

First up is one of my favorite colors: pink! Pink is such a cheerful and bright color. Can you think of things that are pink? Maybe flowers or cotton candy? It’s a fun color to use in our artwork.

Brown

Next, we have brown. Brown is a warm and earthy color. You might see brown in things like trees or chocolate. It’s a great color to add depth to our art pieces.

Black

Now, let’s look at black. Black is a strong and bold color. It can be used to create outlines or shadows in our art. Think of things like a black cat or the night sky.

White

Finally, we have white. White is a clean and bright color. It’s often used to highlight or add contrast to our artwork. Imagine fluffy clouds or fresh snow.

So, our artwork today will be all about using pink, brown, black, and white. Let’s get creative and see what amazing things we can make with these colors!

  • Can you think of your favorite thing that is pink, brown, black, or white? Why do you like it, and how does it make you feel?
  • Imagine you are creating a picture using only these four colors: pink, brown, black, and white. What would you draw, and why would you choose those colors for your picture?
  • Have you ever noticed how colors can change the way we feel? How do you feel when you see something pink, brown, black, or white? Can you share a time when a color made you feel happy or excited?
  1. Color Hunt: Go on a color hunt around your home or classroom! Look for objects that are pink, brown, black, and white. Make a list or draw pictures of the items you find. How many different things can you discover for each color? Share your findings with a friend or family member and talk about why you think those objects are that color.

  2. Color Mixing Experiment: Let’s explore how colors can change! Using safe, washable paints, try mixing different colors to see what happens. What do you get when you mix pink and white? How about brown and black? Use a piece of paper to test your mixtures and create a colorful masterpiece. Discuss with a partner how mixing colors can change the mood or feeling of your artwork.

  3. Story Time with Colors: Create a short story or comic strip using characters or objects that are pink, brown, black, and white. Think about how these colors can help tell your story. For example, a pink flower might be a cheerful character, while a black cat could be mysterious. Share your story with the class and see how others used the colors in their tales.
