LEARNING COLOR


Colors are an everyday part of our lives, but color theory is a complex area of study that deals with all combinations of light and color in the visible spectrum. While a thorough understanding of color and color combinations requires significant study, even young students can gain a basic understanding of color and how colors interact through simple activities and instruction. Young children can learn to differentiate between colors, while more advanced learners can predict the interactions between colors and pair colors for pleasing visual results.
 
Children's Activities

Games 
  1. Ask children to group items such as colored blocks into groups of the same color to rehearse color identification. Colored blocks, crayons or stacks of paper in various colors are all suitable materials for color grouping activities. 
  2.   Instruct students to use specific colors on drawings or paintings. Clear instructions such as "color the apple green" challenge students to identify the proper colors to complete an assignment. 
  3.  Play a simple game of "I Spy." Begin by identifying an item of the room in a specific color. Begin with, "I see something green." The child then attempts to guess the item by listing all green objects in the area. 
  4.  Assign coloring activities to introduce the primary colors red, blue and yellow. Instruct students to create colored picture posters for each of the primary colors with images depicting items in each color.
Color Wheel Activities

1.     Give each student a large piece of white construction paper. Instruct students to draw a triangle in the center of the paper. On each corner of the triangle, color a circle with one of the primary colors. Traditional color wheels feature yellow at the top, red in the right-hand corner and blue in the left-hand corner. Instruct students to label the color circles with a "P" for "primary."
2.      Provide students with three clear plastic cups and food coloring in the primary colors. Instruct students to use their color wheel to combine two of the primary colors adjacent to one another to create secondary colors. For example, in the first cup have students place five drops of yellow food coloring with five drops of red to make orange. In the second, have students mix five drops of red and five drops of blue to make violet. Because food coloring stains, provide rubber gloves as well.
3.      Add the secondary colors in their respective locations between the corresponding primary colors on the students' color wheels. Label the secondary colors with an "S."
4.  Demonstrate how to identify opposing, or complementary colors, on a color wheel. Complementary colors are colors that appear opposite one another on the color wheel. Instruct students to create complementary color drawings using only shades of two complementary colors.
5.      Provide students with tempura paints in the primary and secondary colors. Instruct students to use clean paint brushes to experiment with mixing colors to create new colors. Challenge students to alter the ratio of one color to another. Keep a chart of the color combinations and results.
6.  Review students' color combination charts and explain the definition of tertiary colors. Tertiary colors are created when you combine a primary color, like red, with a secondary color, like purple, to make a third kind of color, like rose. Use tertiary colors to fill in any extra spaces on students' color wheels.
7.  Instruct students to create a color chart of their most liked and most disliked color pairs. For example, a student may list yellow and purple as a liked pair but green and orange as a disliked pair. Share the charts with the class and lead a discussion of trends in preferable and disliked pairs and how the preferences relate to the position of the colors on the color wheel.
