| Somtimes colour wheels are basic. This colour wheel features just the primary and secondary colours. |
It's great to start the learning year with this activity, a fun way to explore basic colour theory.
Making a colour wheel teaches kids how to mix and is a helpful tool when choosing colours.
 |
| This color wheel shows the tertiary colours. These are the colors formed by mixing a primary and a secondary color. That's why the hue is a two word name, such as blue-green, red-violet, and yellow-orange. |
 |
| This wheel demonstrates Hue Tint Tone and Shade. |
 |
| A colour wheel can show a little information, or a lot! Colours that sit next to each other on the colour wheel are called analogous colours. When combined their effect is harmonious. Complementary colours sit across from another on the colour wheel and have a strong contrast, like green and red or purple and yellow. |
 |
| You can start making a colour wheel with paper shapes and stickers. Put a primary colour in each third of a paper plate, and built on that! |
 |
| Love chalk pastels AND they are a great tool for introducing colour mixing. Plus you can remove chalk with an eraser. |
 |
| I give kids a extra piece of paper to try out their colours and blending. We can try out fingers, brushes, q-tips and sponges. |
 |
| I have had students use paint and chalk. This artist concentrates hard as she labels her colour wheel. |
 |
| Filling in spaces around paper shapes with chalk. |
 |
| This artist sees if she can make purple by putting blue chalk on a red shape. |
