Experiment: White t-shirt paint art

Miss Rita engaged the children in the art, which allowed them to experiment with primary and secondary colors through this experience. The children were given different colors of
paint and paintbrushes on the table. Miss Rita explained that the primary colours are red, blue, and yellow, and if we mix two primary colors, then they become secondary colors like if
we mix red and yellow, it makes orange (Dinham, 2019). The children were so excited to paint and make the t-shirt colorful using paint. Miss Rita provided an apron to each of them,
then sat on the chair around the table. This art allowed the children to communicate their thinking and feelings in different ways, where they expressed their feelings and thoughts
with others. It also developed their cognitive and social skills and creativity skills (AGDE, 2022).

Anna said, “I want to choose a red first,” and Katerina said, “I

Miss Rita encouraged the children to try to mix other colors to
see the surprise reaction of the mixing colors. The children
tried different colors by mixing colors on the t-shirt with their
peers. At the end of the painting, children were provided with
glitter to sprinkle on their art.
love pink colors." Miss Rita gave them choices. “Would you like
to mix the colors on the t-shirt using your favorite color?”. She
responded to the children throughout the experience (Arthur et
al., 2020). Furthermore, Timothy said, “I want to fix the blue and
yellow colors." He started to paint on the t-shirt using blue, then
mixed it with red. The children noticed the result of two primary
colors. Timothy showed his look: “It looks purple." Anna said,
“Oh wow, look." Rita added that you can use glitter at the end of
the painting.
