Creative Sustainability - Exploring Colour
Lesson6 of 6 in this unit
PrimaryYear 3 - 4The ArtsVisual ArtsEconomicDesign Thinking
Lesson Summary
In this lesson, students will explore the visual convention of colour using connector pens. As an introduction to colour theory, students discuss the question ‘what is colour?’, before experimenting with complementary and analogous colours in the colour wheel. Students will apply their knowledge of complementary and analogous colours in two number of contemporary artworks, then apply their understanding in their own artwork.
Learning intentions
Students will:
- understand the primary and secondary colour wheels
- use a colour wheel to select complementary and analogous colours
Success criteria
Students can:
- use a secondary colour wheel to find analogous and complementary colours
- identify analogous and complementary colours in an artwork using a colour wheel
- use complementary and analogous colours in an artwork to draw the viewer's attention to important areas of the work
