Shades and Tints

Today in Science we created monochromatic pictures of pumpkins using tints and shades.  We discovered adding white made the orange colour get lighter and lighter while adding black created darker and dark shades.  We used the variety of oranges to create our pumpkin picture. We will go back in next week and outline our lines in black pastel.   We noticed we needed to add a lot of white to change the tint.  When the orange got lighter it looked like a peach colour.  We discovered that black is quite powerful and that just a tiny bit changed the shade very quickly.  As we added black, the orange colour looked like brown.
