In preparation to painting their portraits children created color wheels, learned about primary and secondary colors as well as the magic effect of complementary colors.
Young artists were only given blue, red and yellow oil pastels to create color wheels. To make secondary colors they had to blend the oil pastels with their fingers. Some children enjoyed this practice so much that they chose to create tertiary colors (mixing a primary and a secondary). It's truly fascinating to see 3 colors have the ability to create so many new colors.
Oil pastels are very creamy....we used our fingers to rub the colors together.
