In this workshop, the elementary and high school children in Rio Grande, Oaxaca, reflected on how light and colorwork. This will provide them with tools that they can use in different work areas or only in their day to day. Whether in the future, any of these children decide to devote themselves to art, architecture, makeup artist, industrial / fashion / graphic design, work in a paint shop, etc. At the end of the workshop, they could know that they could generate different nuances with white (light) and black (absence of light). There was also a talk about color temperature, that is, cold colors and warm colors.
