Today we spent some time exploring new ways to mix colours. We experimented with folding our pages over and having a good ‘squidgy’ of the paint. The children are familiar with how to use the primary colours to make secondary colours and really enjoyed this process. We discussed how the pictures are almost symmetrical, and one, in particular looked just like a butterfly’s wing.


We figured out that the more ‘squidging’ we did, the better the colours mixed together.

A great, creative afternoon was had by all. Well done Year 1 artists!
