The curriculum goal is NOT to teach children to copy art.
The goal is to demonstrate how to color mix using elements and principles of design and to practice these lessons in sequential order. When students practice the physical fine motor movements, they will acquire spatial understanding and memory of these movements and elemental concepts as they develop art literacy.
Once children work through all the lessons, they will be able to make the movements independently. They will acquire the building blocks of how color theory start and end, and then they can mix from their own imagination and skill.
