Yippee for Yellow and Purple!!!

The kids drew and painted a bunch of bananas from real life and we also ha a good excuse to learn about the complimentary colour of yellow- purple.

We learned how violet is made (red + blue) and purple (magenta + blue) and also making lilac by adding white to the latter.

The older kids were also introduced to the concept of one-point perspective to produce the stripes on the tablecloth underneath the bananas.

Complimentary Colours- Blue and Orange, inspired by Bridget Riley

Whilst learning about the contrast blue and orange give, we also learned about the female artist from London, Bridget Riley whose meticulous paintings seem 'on the move' due to their high contrast and perfection:

Complimentary Colours- Red and Green; Perspective

The colour wheel is one of the main theories in art; not to say that art revolves around it, especially the principle of colour.

The colours opposite each other in the colour wheel are called complimentary colours. Today we focused on red and green- which make a contrast to each other and add a punch to a painting. The kids painted strawberries in a green bowl from still life, to make the most out of this fruit in its season!

Check out the 1point perspective as well, still under construction!
