The girls continued their study of natural objects and drew shells and pinecones from observation. They applied their new skills including mixing neutrals and using symmetry to draw what they see. Here are some of the girls at work:

Art: Neutralizing is Natural
The girls delighted in making the "rainbow" (color wheel) and learned about new relationships between colors. They expanded on their knowledge of primary colors (red, blue, and yellow) and secondary colors (orange, purple, green) by mixing tertiary colors. They also learned to call these colors by name!
Next they mixed neutrals (a color with all primaries mixed) to prepare for painting their leaves. Here, a student recorded her chemistry with words, too!
After drawing a leaf from observation using symmetry and dot-to-dot to help, the girls mixed neutrals to paint a natural looking leaf.
