Our talented Year One children have been experimenting with colours at home and in school.
The children learnt the three primary colours (yellow, red and blue) and explored colour mixing: one of the important elements of art. They had a go at mixing primary colours to make various secondary colours, for example, mixing red and yellow to make orange. The colours red, yellow and blue are called primary colours in art because they cannot be made by mixing together any other colours. When two primary colours are mixed together, the colour created is called a secondary colour. In art, some colours can be used to create feelings of warmth (e.g. red, yellow or orange) or feelings of coldness (blue, green or grey). Some children also grouped colours into warm or cool and applied their learning by painting their own abstract pictures.
Well done Year One!
