PRIMARY COLORS, SECONDARY COLORS, INTERMEDIATE/TERTIARY COLORS ,TINTS AND SHADES.
4th grade students have begun to explore the element of color. Color theory is an extremely important part of art. The students have created color wheels beginning with mixing their primary colors to get their secondary colors. Once this dried, they then added in between their primary and secondary colors; their intermediate or tertiary colors. These are mixed using a secondary color with a primary color. On another sheet of paper, the students experimented with tints and shades. Tints are created by gradually adding white into one color and shades are created by adding black gradually into one color. The students will be using their knowledge of color in an extension lesson to this in order to create a monochromatic painting.
