Artist Badge - Primary Colors with a Halloween theme

This week we worked on #4 of the Artist badge, learning about primary and secondary colors, and #1, talking to an artist and learning about careers in art. I found acrylic paint and foam brushes on sale at Michaels last month and cute wooden halloween masks to paint.


First we gave the boys red, yellow and blue paint on paper plates and had them mix the colors to get secondary colors.


 


Then they painted the halloween masks.

We ended the den meeting with a visit from an artist in our neighborhood that works for Disney. She taught the boys about all different kinds of careers in art including graphic design, interior design, and architectural design. She ended by showing us the commercial that she produced.

This was a fun way to work with paint and the boys really loved our visitor. This week was definitely a success!
