Week One: Color
In this workshop we will learn about primary colors, and how they mix to make secondary colors. We will make our own color wheel, try blending colors, and experiment with using color to show emotions. Then we learn about the artists Georgia O’Keefe, Mark Rothko, and Jake Prendez. Last but most fun, we make our own tie-dyed bandanas to experience for ourselves what happens when two primary colors blend together.
En este taller, aprendemos sobre los colores primarios, y como se puede mezclarlos para hacer colores secundarios. Hacemos nuestro propia rueda de colores, intentamos a mezclar colores, y exploramos el uso de colores para mostrar emociones. Después, aprendemos sobre los artistas Georgia O’Keefe, Mark Rothko, y Jake Prendez. Al fin pero lo más entretenido, hacemos nuestros propios pañuelos teñidos para experimentar qué pasa realmente cuando se mezcla dos colores primarios uno con otro.
