Optional lesson  - The Science of Color & Options

• "Introduction to Color" Khan Academy module together. When you arrive at the module, be sure to log into Khan Academy using Google. https://www.khanacademy.org/computing/pixar/color/color-101/v/color-science-1
  
  
• Then, we'll "listen: to an episode of Radiolab entitled "Colors." While we are listening, I encourage you to keep your hands busy by doing some coloring. We'll be chatting about things we noticed, found interesting, etc. at the end of each listening session. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1RCW8hG6zQ1ZIR2p0Kd80xNfgROx7CaKv/view?usp=sharing
  
  
• Finally, we'll read the poem "Colors" by Steven Vincent Benet and work to create a poem (any form, rhythm, meter, etc.) that utilizes color in a creative, unexpected way. https://www.poemhunter.com/poem/colors/
