We have been learning about colour theory in LC10, 11 and 8. The idea behind progressive visual art lessons is so that the children become skilled in the use and manipulation of colour, tone, texture etc., so that these can be used creatively and confidently in further picture making attempts.Our first lesson was on colour thoery - the colour wheel. This was to provide information about colour eg primary, secondary, neutral, tints, shades, tones, warm, cool, complimentary (opposites) colours.
In LC8 we started with the warm and cool colours. We then learnt how to blend colours together to make our "blob" creatations. One blob was to demonstrate the warm colours from the colour wheel and the second blob to demonstrate the cool colours. Each blob creation require 2 individual blobs. On the 2nd blob of each, the children had to reverse the colours used eg, red, orange, yellow was then yellow, orange red.BLOB CREATIONS BY LC8 STUDENTS:
