Lesson 1

What: To understand basic colour theory – primary, secondary and tertiary. To mix colours.

How: We will look at the colour wheel. We will learn the group names, such as Primary and Secondary colours. We will use paints.

Why: Because the colour wheel shows the colours and how they relate and work with each other. Colours are a huge part of our world and play a big part in art, especially in creating emotion, temperature and different styles of art. We will be exploring how colour can be used in this terms art lessons.

Starter: Make a colour wheel

Students to look at a print out of a colour wheel. Students to be assigned a colour – use colour cards.

Students to find items in the room representing that colour. Place in correct colour wheel sequence.

LA – students could work with verbal and visual support, being reminded of the colour they are searching for. Students who struggle matching colours could carry a colouring pen or square with them whilst searching, to match correctly.

MA – Students could be given the opportunity to be more independent in their searching, have a visual prompt of the colour wheel to help them sequence the colour wheel.

HA – could take leader roles and work in small groups to create own wheel with minimal support. Could challenge students to sequence the wheel with less or no visual support.

Intro: Discussing colour theory

Colour Wheel: a circle with different colored sectors used to show the relationship between colors.

Primary Colors: red, yellow and blue. The colors from which all other colors are created by mixing.
