A Bit About Autumn Colors

Mixing Paints to Make Fall Colors 

"Blue, red and some white, and more white and some yellow and some more white and a little bit of some red and it mixed to this color." - Marley

We've been observing leaves and their changing colors, in addition to persimmons.
​So, just what are the colors of autumn? 

"Blue and yellow makes green." -Audrey

Before we began squeezing the bottles of paint, we acknowledge the colors we had to work with and addressed the three colors - blue, yellow, and red - as primary colors. The color wheel was next introduced. If we have yellow (the outer circle of the color wheel) and we add blue (rotating the inner circle to locate blue) what color do we get?

Our observations of the result were factually, blue. Opposite of our primary colors were black and white, and with these we acknowledge that white makes it lighter and black will make it darker. ​

"White makes it lighter." -Lochie

From jar to paper, ginkgo green paint color is made.

Reflecting on Our Initial Persimmon Documentation

What is it telling us? 

"It's telling us about the persimmons." -Janie

"Because it has a tree and it has branches and the leaves hold the persimmons. And one was upside down earlier." -Janie

"It tells us about the part that turns orange." -Maxon
