Today we learnt how to tint blue with black to make a Matariki night sky. First we painted a line of blue and then we gradually added a little black to the blue so that we ended up with black at the other side of the page.
It was a little tricky and harder than what we thought. We had to persist at what we were doing and sometimes we had to fix up our mistakes. It was fun trying something new and taking risks with our learning. Something we noticed was that the black paint made the blue paint go a little greenish.
We enjoyed learning to tint a colour.
The next step is for us to add some stars to the night sky and a city scape.
