What happens when you add white to a color and what is it called? First graders were transfixed when we squirted a color of their choice plus white into the middle of a piece of paper then folded it in half and MASHed out a MONSTER! We opened up all the papers at the same time and took a look at how the white paint changed the color. The second part of the lesson was about symmetrical balance. Students learned to cut out two things at the same time like legs and horns. We had a great time adding details...eye lashes, fangs, and teeth. The students also made up names and stories to go with their monsters.
