Making Paint II

 

Nov.14.2009.school 074 

After learning how paint was made, I took a look on the internet to see if I could make paint with my students.  So with a little gum arabic and turmeric, we made yellow, and with chili powder and gum arabic we made a red-orange.  Then I also purchased synthetic pigments, one back and another blue, so we could have other colors to paint with.

   

First I mixed each pigment on a palette, and then gave each student a paper and some paint brushes.
