Vocabulary: Analogous, complimentary, harmonious, hue, primary colour, secondary colour, tertiary colour |
This project teaches children about colour theory by studying the colour wheel and colour mixing. It includes an exploration of tertiary colours, warm and cool colours, complementary colours and analogous colours, and how artists use colour in their artwork.
Whilst learning about the colour wheel, we will examine work by famous artists, noticing the colours they have chosen to use and challenging ourselves to see if we can make them!
Finally we will use our new knowledge and skills to create our own piece of artwork using the colours from the colour wheel!
