COLOUR AND SHAPE. 

 In this unit we are going to work with two important elements in art:  Colour and Shape. 

Lesson 1: Colour theory

Thanks to Sir Isaac Newton, colours are categorised in the colour wheel:

We use the Colour Theory to make intelligent decisions when thinking about what colours to use in an artwork.

This 12-section colour wheel describes relationships between different colours and it help us to decide what colours to use deppending on the effects we need in our artworks.

CATEGORIES OF COLOUR:

• PRIMARY COLOURS: Red, blue and yellow.:
• SECONDARY COLOURS: A colour resulting from 2 primary colours: orange, green and purple.
• TERTIARY COLOURS: The colour resulting when we mix the same amount of a primary colour and a secondary colour.

Task 1: Under the sea.

Colour a sea landscape with at least 6 fish using primary colours for the bodies, secondary colours for the head and tertiary colours for the fins.

Task 2: Watch the video and learn more about colours, and the theory of colours

Task 3: Play the creating colours game.
