2nd Grade "Value"-able" Jewels



Second graders have been hard at work learning all about the element of Value. Value refers to the lightness or darkness of a color. We can get value by mixing white and black with a color. The students began this project by making a symmetrical jewel. Symmetrical means that if you fold it in half, it would be the same on each side. After making their jewels, the second graders picked a color of tempera paint, plus white and black, to paint their project. I'm impressed with these very "value"-able jewels!
