Time Lapsed Spinner Art

The spinner painting proved to be a huge success again today! We offered the children the primary colours of paint red, blue, yellow and white and black in order to see how the colours mix and darken and lighten each other when spun together.  We documented the experience using time-lapsed photography to integrate technology into the experience.

Colour Mix Spinning

We hoped to continue exploring colour mixing so we set up a fun activity that involved a salad spinner, squeeze bottles of primary coloured paint, and circular paper. 

After putting the paper in the salad spinner children were encouraged to squirt the different colours of paint on it. 

After the lid was secured the children used their muscles to spin and mix the paint inside. 

Opening up the lid and seeing the beautiful art within was so exciting! We loved watching the look on the children's faces as they saw their beautiful artwork. 

The designs and colours created were magical!
