Learn Moreabout PBS online sponsorship[bright music] - Hello, everyone.
My name is Lia.
Today we are going to try mixing colors to make the colors of this plant.
Let's see what we have to paint with today.
I have a big paper.
I have the paint brush.
What else do you see?
- Water!
- Water.
The water is to rinse the paintbrush.
We have the sponge to dry the paintbrush, and we have colors.
We have white.
- White.
- Yellow.
- Yellow.
- Red and blue.
- Red, blue.
- Wow, these three colors are called the primary colors.
Do you know why the primary colors are special?
Because when we mix them together, we can make new colors.
But today, we are going to make green.
So, which two colors do you think we should use?
[gentle music] - Blue and yellow.
- Blue and yellow, great.
So let's try.
Now, first, I'm going to hold the paintbrush in the middle, with the fingers in one side and the thumb in the other.
I'm ready to paint.
So, we're gonna dip the paintbrush in the yellow, and now paint on the paper.
[gasps] Do you like yellow?
I love yellow.
- I love bright yellow.
- I think I'm ready for blue.
Can I put the paintbrush into the blue?
- No.
- No.
- You wash!
- I need to wash it.
One, two, three, stop.
One, two, three, stop.
Knock, knock, knock.
And now, dry it on the sponge.
So dip it into the blue, and now I'm going to go... Wow, look at this blue.
- Maybe you have to mix it up.
- [Lia] Let's see what happens.
- Green!
- They make green!
Wow, this is great!
You were right!
I wonder if we can make the colors that I see on this plant.
Can you help me?
What colors do you see on the plant?
- [Student] Green.
- What kind of green do you see?
- So many greens.
- Hmm.
I see dark green.
Now, I want to make the dark green.
How I can make it?
Should I add more yellow or more blue?
- More blue.
- More blue?
Let's try it.
- It's dark green!
- It's dark green!
With a lot of blue, it make a dark green.
Now, do you see another kind of green?
- Light green!
- Light green!
Where do you see the light green?
- Over there.
- There.
- Over there, in the middle, right?
So, how am I gonna do the light green?
I'm going to start doing yellow.
And how much blue should I have to make it lighter?
- A little bit.
- Let's see if it happens.
[gasps] You were right.
With a tiny bit of blue, we make light green!
[gasps] What?
That is amazing!
Now, I see another kind of green.
Do you see this in the middle?
How we can make it so light, this green?
- Using the white!
- Should I add white to it?
Let's see what happens.
[Lia gasps] - It's turning really light!
- Now it's your turn.
What kinds of green will you make?
How you will mix them?
Are we ready?
- Yeah.
- And now, wow.
Yellow!
You are painting so carefully.
Wow.
[gentle music continues] [gentle music continues] - This is turning into so dark green.
- It's the light green.
- How you make light green is you have to put white in first.
Oh my goodness, look.
It was white, and now it's turning so yellowy.
- I'm gonna do white first this time.
- [gasps] Well, it looks like the plant.
Like the middle on the leaf that is really, really light green.
[gentle music] - And if I put yellow on top of it, it will turn so bright.
[gentle music continues] - It's green!
- Green!
- Yes, look, it looks like the leaf!
Look.
Beautiful.
Look, what is going on on those papers?
I think we are done.
Hey, man, I see a dark green on the bottom.
How did you make it?
- So, how to make it is just put white first.
- [Lia] White first, and then?
- Yellow.
- And then?
- Blue.
- Cici, which one is your favorite green?
- [Cici] This one.
- How did you make it?
- Yellow then green.
- Now, Mia.
I wonder, how did you make this light green on the top?
- So I used white, blue, and green.
- Fantastic.
Now it's your turn to mix all kinds of green.
What kinds of green will you make, and how will you mix them?
Have fun, artists.
