Nature is full of beautiful colors! Green leaves, blue sky, brown dirt, red berries, yellow flowers, and orange sunsets. When you look closely at nature, you can find more colors than you ever imagined. Artists look at nature to get ideas for their art.
Take nature walks and play color-spotting games. Collect leaves, flowers, and stones and sort them by color. Bring nature items inside and try to match them with crayons or paints. Keep a nature color journal or collage.
Nature is the biggest art gallery in the world. Every time you step outside, you are surrounded by colors. The grass is green, the sky is blue, dirt is brown, and flowers come in every color you can imagine. Nature does not need crayons or paint to be colorful!
If you look closely, you will see that nature has many shades of each color. A leaf is not just green. It might be light green, dark green, or yellowish green. The bark of a tree is not just brown. It might be grayish brown, reddish brown, or almost black. Nature uses way more colors than a crayon box!
The colors in nature change all the time. In spring, you see bright greens and colorful flowers. In summer, the colors are bold and strong. In fall, leaves turn yellow, orange, and red. In winter, you might see white snow, gray skies, and the dark brown of bare branches. Even the sky changes from blue to pink to orange during a sunset.
Artists love to look at nature for color ideas. You can do this too! Next time you are outside, try to find as many different colors as you can. Pick up a leaf and try to match its exact color with your crayons. You might be surprised that you need to mix colors to get it just right. Nature is the best teacher when it comes to color!
