Positive and Negative space Ornaments 

Lesson Overview: 
The lesson went very well. They were able to tape ornaments and then paint them with primary colors. After they painted them they were able to experiment with mixing colors on their plate. They talked a lot with each other and continued to  find new ways to mix colors. Some students mixed all of the colors together and made a muddy mess while others very carefully experimenting with different colors and how to lighten them or change them.
