“I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn’t say any other way–things I had no words for.” – Georgia O’Keefe

Tempera Paint can be mixed in an infinitely nuanced palette, but how often do we end up creating colors that represent the vitality, diversity, and beauty of the natural world?

Join us as we consider how we can use this resource to bring attention to the richness of the environment, including:

What are the tricks and tips to creating a wide range of beautiful palettes?

What are the techniques of paint mixing with children?

How can color support children learning?

How can a wide range of paint colors support children’s connection to nature?

What is the difference between a tone, hue, shade, and tint?

How can paint and color support literacy and poetic language?

Included:

in the cost of this workshop is a Color Wheel, paint cups, and paints that participants can use to create a personal palette that can be taken back to their centers. Participants will also create a paint recipe book that can be used as a tool to create beautiful

palettes throughout the year.
