Term colour study by Preps

We began this term by reading 'Mouse paint' by Ellen Stoll Walsh. Exploring and discussing primary colours and what colours we can create by mixing the primary colours together.

We then completed a mouse paint colour mixing activity.

We then watched the fanstic music video by Ok Go on Sesame Street.

The next lesson we listened and watched the beauiful song about colours by Kira Willey

and then we painted our first colour wheel...

We then discussed how colours can be used to express and communicate feelings and emotions in the way theyare used in art. We talking about which cikours woudl fit different emotional states. The students then completed three draings using the primary colours and were requested to draw the feeling that the primary colour could represent.

The students were then introduced to secondary colours through the colour wheel and how they can compliment primary colours. We watched a fantastic animation which explains this very well.

After learning about complimentary colours the students practised this new found knowledge by drawing a picture of their choice but by only using complimentry colours with the paper colour and the oil pastel that they chose to use

.

To conclude this lesson I found this funny song about the colour green singing to red which summarised the whole thing nicely.
