  1. Year 7 Art Elements of Design COLOUR

  2. COLOUR Colour is a painter’s tool. Because there are so many colours to choose from artist’s need to understand how colours work. Painters in early times had to make their own colours from nature – rocks, charcoal and clay. Cave men and Australian aborigines painted this way. They were limited in the colours they could obtain – ochres mainly. Today chemists manufacture paints for us and huge range of hues is available. There are some colour rules we need to learn to help us paint and to understand the work of other painters.

  3. Primary Colours Primary Colours are the first colours from which all other colours are made. You cannot mix other colours to make them. They are: REDYELLOW BLUE In the boxes on your worksheet paint a sample of each of the primary colours and label each box on the line underneath the corresponding box.

  4. Secondary Colours Secondary Colours are created when you mix two primary colours together. Have a go at mixing the primary colours together and fill in the missing words on your worksheet. Red+ Yellow =Orange

  5. Yellow + Blue =Green

  6. Red + Blue =Purple

  7. Colour Wheel This is a colour wheel. Using paint, colour in the colour wheel on your worksheet.

  8. Tertiary Colours Tertiary colours are made by mixing combinations of secondary colours. These colours are muddy browns and greens. Different amounts of the colours give variations in tertiary colours, but here is a simple guide to follow: Orange + Green = Olive Green + Purple = Khaki Purple + Orange = Brown

  9. Warm Colours Such colours as red, red-purple, orange and yellow are associated with fire, sun, sand, anger, liveliness and action. They seem to generate heat and warmth. In a painting these colours appear closer, that is, they advance to the front because they are more intense (brighter).

  10. Cool Colours Colours such as blue, green, blue-violet and lime are associated with water, sky, rainforests, night, cold and restfulness. They have an absence of warmth and will tend to sink back and appear further away in a painting, that is, they recede.

  11. Complimentary Colours Complimentary colours are strongly contrasting. There is a formula you can use to find the correct pairs of colours: Primary colour two missing primary colours mixed equal thecomplimentary colour BLUE ------------------------(Red + Yellow) -------------------- = ORANGE YELLOW ---------------------(Red + Blue) ---------------------- = PURPLE RED -------------------------(Blue + Yellow) ---------------------= GREEN

  12. This can also be done in reverse. Can you complete this table on your worksheet?
