If this one of the activities you implement on the workshop for the children, I might say that this is a good one! You encourage nothing but pure creativity for the children; you let them learn the right idea for mixing colors. Though kids at their age still do not have the right idea on how to make it, the idea of trying in trying will let you achieve the right colors for your piece! I can see that the kids made efforts for this artwork!
