Colour Wheel Art - By Maddie


Room 9 has been making colour wheels.  In a colour wheel there are primary, secondary and tertiary colours.  We put an inner core on it.  An inner core is a shape inside it and you put complementary colours on it.  Complimentary colours are the opposite colours on a colour wheel e.g. yellow’s opposite is purple.  Blue’s opposite is orange.  Primary colours are yellow, blue and red.  Primary colours cannot be made.  Secondary colour are orange, purle and green.  The secondary colours ca be made e.g. yellow + red = orange, yellow + blue = green, blue + red = purple.  There are also tertiary colours in the colour wheels. 

I think colour wheels are fun.  Why don’t you give it a try?
