You can use the Decomposed Color Image of Wilbur and Wilma below to print in color onto transparency film or you can decompose your own image using the JavaLab site linked here. If using your own image to decompose for this unit, pick one that has a significant area of red, green, and blue in the image. If planning ahead, you could ask your students to wear red, green, or blue clothes to school one day and take a class photo. Then, decompose that impage and print it on transparencies to make the image more personal. https://javalab.org/en/filedrop_cmyk_en/
