Celebrating color with SPRING EQUINOX just around the colorful corner!
We explored color mixing with Elmer the Elephant in this week’s Art Adventure!
We shared the story of Elmer and his wonderful rainbow checkered pattern! It was all about color mixing with our primary colors this week as we collaged and overlapped pinks, blues and yellows to create new colors on our Elmer! 
Art Adventurer’s “drove the car” in drawing contour lines around Elmer with a marker, then continued to collage with both “see-through” (transparent) & non see through shapes
