A photo of the Cobb house and a terra cotta, red clay, plant pot tray was available to compare our changing color in a shallow plastic lid and later in jars as we felt more confident that we had the recipe for the paint color to resemble and represent the Cobb house. If the Cobb house is orange, how do we make orange? We identified the three primary colors: blue, red, and yellow. Then we sourced knowledge about which two colors make orange. A few children knew and so we proceeded with only these two colors to start. for which primary colors make orange and determining and validating this with mixing the two.
After working with only two colors, mixing yellow with red to create an orange hue, Georgia added a variable of a third color with a small drop of white. She then added a fourth color variable with a drop of blue. She proceeded by adding a greater portion of yellow before mixing the different ratios of paint colors together.
