There are lots of ways for students to experience color in the art room. I came across one of the most interesting a week ago and I got to bring it out for first graders to try this morning. It's a color scale puzzle where each color is slightly different but related to the colors surrounding it - it's a brilliant concept to help kids understand the relationships between colors. I'm not going to lie - I had a hard time keeping my hands off of it before they came to class! Below you'll see photos of three boys working it out and finding strategies to complete the puzzle including like colors together. They finished the puzzle in about 15 minutes which I think is a pretty amazing accomplishment!
