I've been doing a lot of LA connections too - I think it's a knee jerk reaction to the whole STEM thing Hope Hunter Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15815277347271501092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1757920717978905919.post-59787350088272441282014-10-01T21:42:15.611-04:002014-10-01T21:42:15.611-04:00Thanks Mary!Thanks Mary!Hope Hunter Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15815277347271501092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1757920717978905919.post-74231172619580626502014-10-01T20:28:51.637-04:002014-10-01T20:28:51.637-04:00I love this lesson, Hope!

We are diving in very similarly to you.......I like how you asked them to break up the sections into thirds to evenly spread out the lightness and darkness. Very smart!!

I also asked them to mix a different variety of tints and shades (get lighter and lighter, etc). We didn't really focus on a light side and a dark side because in the real gems, the transparency and reflection kind of voids the typical "light on one side, dark on the other" method.

It is very handy how that one is "color by number" Did you find an easy way to explain where to put which tints and shades?
