Color Mixtures and Proportions

Mrs. Nelson introduces a lesson on color mixtures, focusing on creating sky blue paint. She explains how to use diagrams to represent single, double, and triple batches of paint mixtures. The lesson covers how to adjust the recipe to make a darker shade of blue by altering the proportions of blue and white paint. The video concludes with a discussion on scaling the recipe for larger batches.

What is the main objective of the lesson on color mixtures?

• To mix colors without any tools

• To understand the history of colors

• To use diagrams to represent different batches of a color mixture

• To learn how to paint a room

What is the purpose of using diagrams in this lesson?

• To make the lesson longer

• To confuse the students

• To visually represent the proportions of paint

• To create art

How is a single batch of sky blue paint represented in the diagram?

• With two large blue squares and one small white square

• With two small blue squares and one large white square

• With one small blue square and two large white squares

• With one large blue square and two small white squares

What is the ratio of blue to white paint in a single batch of sky blue paint?

• 2 cups of blue to 1 gallon of white

• 1 gallon of blue to 2 cups of white

• 2 gallons of blue to 1 cup of white

• 1 cup of blue to 1 gallon of white

What does doubling the ingredients for sky blue paint achieve?

• It reduces the amount of paint needed

• It produces twice the amount of sky blue paint

• It creates a lighter shade of blue

• It changes the color to dark blue

How can Claire make two batches of sky blue paint?

• By using more water

• By using the same amount of blue and white paint

• By using half as much blue and white paint

• By using twice as much blue and white paint

What is one way to make a darker shade of blue?

• Use more water

• Add more blue paint

• Use less blue paint

• Add more white paint

If limited on blue paint, how can you still achieve a darker shade?

• Use more white paint

• Use less white paint

• Add more water

• Mix with another color

What is the effect of using less white paint in the mixture?

• It makes the paint more watery

• It makes the paint lighter

• It makes the paint darker

• It makes the paint dry faster

What does a triple batch of the color mixture involve?

• Using three times as much blue and white paint

• Using half the amount of blue and white paint

• Mixing the paint three times

• Using three different colors
