Today’s Lesson Skill Development: Hot Air Balloons To teach students the Art vocabulary words "tints" and "shades” To show students different painting techniques that they can use to create different colors To encourage students to try many, many different types of patterns to fill their hot air balloons with lots of interesting colors and designs. Today you are going to create your own Hot Air balloon watercolor painting. We are going to learn how to change the way a color looks by adding either black or white to the color. The color variations are called tints and shades or “hues” Explain the lesson objective and description - adding black or white to paint to change how the color looks. Encourage encourage encourage lots of experimenting with all colors and mixing to get different tints / shades / hues. This is especially visible to students if they paint more than one balloon and have one ‘normal’ one with a black added and/ or white so their painting shows tints and shades or the various hues of the colors they are using. Encourage students to make LARGE patterns – they have to paint this in!!! Art@Booksin

Hot Air Balloons Hot Air Balloons Art@Booksin In color theory, a tint is the mixture of a color with white, which increases lightness, and a shade is the mixture of a color with black, which reduces lightness. A tone is produced either by the mixture of a color with gray, or by both tinting and shading Art@Booksin
