EXPLORATIONS IN COLOR


Murray Students of all ages are exploring color, this basic element of art---mixing, contrasting, even glazing paints basic in exercises and projects.



Kinders painted without brushes in the tradition of American Artist Jackson Pollack, creating patterns, textures, or pictures with forks, q-tips, and popsicle sticks.


First graders mixed primary colors to make secondary colors in their sketchbooks, then used remaining time to 'free paint' or print their painting palettes.




Fourth Graders painted in pairs and teams to create clever color wheels, making 12 colors from three, and learning about the idea of a Color Sphere!



What is your favorite color, and why?
