In Art last week, we learned how to mix
tones of a colour by adding drops of a colour to white paint. When you mix one drop of coloured paint with white paint, you get a very pale tone. When you add a lot of drops of colour to white paint, you get a darker tone.

| Jevan's many tones of yellow |
We chose our favourite colours and created 5 tones by mixing paint. Then, we used our tones to create art that featured just one colour. It was a fun experiment to see how much detail and interest we could create in a painting with only one colour.

| Riannon's purple tones |

| Katelynn's blue tones |

| Brooke-Lynne's tones of red |

| Christopher's tones of blue |

| Jaylee's purple tones |
 |
| Preston's tones of yellow |
 |
| Ebony's purple tones |
Alexis and Trinity experimented with making
shades of grey. They started with white paint and added drops of black paint. The less black paint they added, the lighter the shade of grey. Alexis' painting really shows off the changes in shades! She created a
graduated colour pattern by painting stripes of grey that show a gradual change from dark, to medium, to light.

If you could only see tones of one colour, what colour would you want your world to be?
Pink is a lighter tone of red. Can you think of any other tones that have their own colour names?
