Colors

Primary and secondary colors in our life.
Grade 1S

Books read: Red is the best by Kathy Stinson.

Handouts: Canada's Food Guide and its colors.

Activity: Blow color friends and Leaf friends

Materials:

 

1.     Paper

2.     Paint (4 colors)

3.     Straws (cut in half)

4.     Glue sticks or liquid glue
pencils

5.     Scissors

6.     Paint mixing container (yogurt lids or butter tubs)

7.     Googly eyes

8.     Leaves to trace

9.     Spoons

 

 

Preparation:

 

1.     Cut straws in half

2.     Put glue in a container and keep popsicle sticks and googly eyes

3.     Dilute paint with water

 

 

Make:

 

 

Give each student a paper, pencil and leaf, and a leaf to trace (help improve fine motor skills)

 

Let the students trace the leaf

 

Students to put googly eyes on the leaf. (Leaf friends)

 

Dilute paint with a little water to give it a consistency that's easy for blowing. (Depends on what type of paper is use. Construction or card stock or just plain paper)

 

Put a spoonful of one color  at one time in  one location on each students paper paper.

 

Pass the straw and request the students to blow. Blow each little pool of paint in many directions with straws. Try to see how far you can make it spread. Watch little friendly monster limbs and tentacles magically appear!

 

Repeat with the other primary colors.

 

In a different location on the same paper mix 2 primary colors. We mixed blue and yellow to make a green friend.

 

After color friends have dried add eyes on top of the tentacle-like points. We used googly eyes, but drawing them in would have worked well too.

 

Students can cut out shapes and make different types of friends

 

Note: If there is too much color then fold the paper in half and the students can give a name to their shape changing friends such as butterflies, bats, or trees.

 

 

Output was 2 craft activities:

1.     Googly eyes leaf friends

2.     Color friends

 

Outcome

1.     Students learned about primary and secondary colors with this art activity

2.     Students compared the colors with the food guide.

Why are there four lions in Ashoka Chakra?

The National Emblem of India has an origin steeped in the culture and myriad colors of India. A symbol of the modern Indian republic, the emblem is an adaptation from the Sarnath Lion, capital of Emperor Ashoka the Great as preserved in the Sarnath Museum situated near Varanasi in the north Indian province of Uttar Pradesh.

Lion is a symbol of victory and four lions means victory over four directions east, west, south and north of Ashoka the great. Also, Ashoka the great was called a chakravarthi or a great emperor over all directions.

 

Lion is also the symbol of mightiness and bravery.
Our National Emblem, modeled on the Lion Capital, features 3 lions.  The fourth lion is hidden from sight since it is positioned at the rear end; so is the bell-shaped lotus flower situated beneath. The frieze beneath the lions is shown with a wheel in the center, a bull on the right, a galloping horse on the left, and outlines of Dharma Chakras on the extreme right and left. The wheel at the centre
of the abacus symbolizes the "Dharma Chakra".
The three lions (the one hidden from the front view excluded) represent power, courage and confidence, and rest on a circular abacus girded by four smaller animals that are
separated by intervening wheels.

 

These four animals are the guardians of the four directions:

 

·      the lion of the north,

·      the elephant of the east,

·      the horse of the south and

·      the bull of the west.
