Tertiary Colour Exploration

This was last week’s Art lesson.

After a review of Primary colours (red, blue, yellow), which cannot be made from other colours, Secondary colours (orange, green, and purple) which are made from equal amounts of the Primary colours, and Intermediate colours which are uneven amounts of the Primary colours (red-orange, yellow-green, etc.) we explored the making of Tertiary colours which is the making of new colours by mixing Secondary colours.

Students explored making russet (orange and violet), slate (green and violet), and bronze (orange and green) while creating an Autumn scene with waxed crayons.
