Black and White

Introducing Tint and Shade

We have the idea that black and white mix to make gray but what happens when we add white to black or when we add black to white?

Tint
"If you mix white into another color it gets lighter." -Audrey
"Changes to a different color. You have to mix it around a lot." -Jack
"You mix the color together and it will turn a little white." 
Shade
"When you put black into something it makes it darker." Jack

It soon became an exploration of gray... 

How did the black change when you added white?

"It gets a little more light." -Jack

So if we keep adding white?

​"It will get as light as the white." -Sylvie

Now are hands are gray! And they're so sticky, right?" -Jack

"It's because our favorite color is gray right?! Haha!" -Reed

Before

After

C.C. gradually adds black to her white paint, and little by little she observes the change in tint. 

"It's getting more darker!" -C.C.

Giacomo, Maxon, and Elle follow up on the initial work to create a gradient of tints and shades of gray.

"This is lightest, this is darker, this is darker, this is darker, this is darker, this is darkest." -Maxon
