Colour tints and shades monochromatic scale

Week 4 teacher directed. Set up tables with white, black and a single colour of paint. Give
students 1 A3 piece of paper each. Direct students to paint 1 white circle in the top left corner.
Continue to direct students to add a small amount of colour paint and paint an outer-circle.
Students continue doing this,
adding more paint each time. About halfway through,
`direct students to add very small amounts of black to
their artwork to create shades. The finished product
should look something like moonlight.
