Primary Lessons and Resources

Colour

Colour is a common thread that runs throughout our art curriculum. Our primary resources and lesson plans explore the fascinating world of colour, including primary and secondary colours, the colour wheel, and the effects of colour in art and design. Children will learn to mix tints, shades, and tones, dive into colour theory, and create beautiful colour palettes. These engaging lessons and resources will inspire creativity and help young learners develop a deeper understanding of how colour shapes the world around them. Perfect for bringing colour to life in the classroom!
