The Learning Center is so full of color lately! From our beautiful
makeover to a fun color theory class from our Cosmetology instructor, HALO has
been vibrant, bright, and full of smiles and laughter.
Last Tuesday, our youth enrolled in the cosmetology workshop were able
to have tons of fun creating projects based on color theory. Our
instructor took some time to explain the consequences of using the wrong dye in
someone's hair (green hair, anyone?) and then helped us learn more about
picking the right color! The lesson had two parts: first, each youth was
given a color wheel worksheet and asked to use finger paints to combine primary
colors to create secondary and tertiary colors. There's nothing more fun
than finger painting! Then, after the youth understood how to make
complementary color combinations, they were given a canvas, a bunch of crayons,
and a blow dryer to make a beautiful piece of crayon art. Color theory
was incredibly important to make sure that our art didn't turn brown!
After the youth finished, they were able to take home a beautiful piece
of art along with some useful knowledge about hair dye, complementary colors,
and the importance of trying new things!
