A fun activity to create your own painted colour wheel.
What will your children learn?
During this lesson your children will –
Paint their own colour wheel using dots created with cotton buds.
Explore colour theory and the artistic technique of pointillism in a fun, tactile way.
Learn about the three primary colours and how they combine to create the three secondary colours.
Experience how colours can blend optically as well as physically, and how the eye can mix tiny dots into new colours.
Learn how to slow down and look closely as they build their picture.
Build on their hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills, working patiently and filling shapes evenly and carefully.
Learn that the way we apply paint can be a powerful form of artistic expression, just like in Seurat’s work.
