Last Friday, during our Art period, students performed experiments with colour.  We started with the three primary colours – red, yellow, and blue.  Students learned that ‘primary’ colours – meaning ‘first’ – are important because they can make other colours but other colours cannot make them.

Using these three primary colours students made the ‘intermediate’ colours – orange, green, and purple.

Once students had each created these three new colours they were given a new piece of paper.  They were asked to paint a picture – of whatever they wanted – but they were to show the six colours (the three primaries and the three intermediates) in this picture.

I think they look pretty great!!  I hope you agree.
