Help me give my students well trays, nylon paint brushes, and color wheels to better understand how we view colors through the practice of mixing paint.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
This has been a challenging time for many students and teachers alike, but the resilience that my students have shown in the classroom makes the challenging times worth it.
At the start of each class, I have my students work on a warm-up drawing; my students are always prepared with their sketchbooks and get started working right away.
My students are eager to share what they have drawn, which is thrilling for me to see them express themselves and think creatively. Getting to see what they have drawn gives me an insight into their personalities and interests. My students make it easy to be a teacher, their personalities make my experience special despite being at a distance.
My Project
We see colors everywhere and every moment of our lives, however many of us are not aware of how or why we see colors, and why some colors work well together while others don't. This project will help students understand the physics of color, how light creates color, and how colors react together through color mixing.
Students will use color wheels to understand how colors react together.
They will learn what colors are opposite of each other on the color wheel, and how that can create visual impact. Students will use paintbrushes and well trays to physically mix colors together to understand the reaction that colors have, and how they transform into new colors.
By having students physically mix colors they will be able to see colors transform right in front of their eyes, to better understand how our eyes perceive those different colors. This project will transform the way that students see colors around them, from branding to the colors they choose to wear every day.
