K2 Learns All About Me!
To kick off the year in KIDLAB, the K2 is looking at how we are the same and how we are different. Each student is creating a multimedia portrait of themselves, working on making it true to their own face in color, shape, and facial features.
Each class is spent looking at and understanding one part of the face. On day one, we noticed that people in our class had many different skin tones. Using different paint samples, we found the color that best represents us and recorded it on a K2 graph before painting our paper place face. After looking at the graph, we noticed that while many of the K2 students have chocolate colored skin, others have teracotta, peach, cinnamon, ebony, and carmel colored skin. We love to look at our differences!
During our second class, we talked about facial features, focusing specifically on the eyes. We noticed that although everyone has a white part of the eye (sclera) with a black dot in the middle (pupil), there is also a third color in there, a ring (iris) around the black dot. We decided to graph these colors too and we found out that more than half of the K2 friends have brown eyes while only 8 of us have blue, green or hazel eyes.
