Introduction
Colours are not just beautiful, they have Power!
In this web quest, you will become a Colour Explorer. You will mix and experiment with Primary, Secondary and Tertiary Colours.
Get ready to mix and explore the endless shades that make our world Vibrant!!
Task
Your Mission is to:
- Explore the science and art of colour mixing by using Primary, Secondary and Tertiary Colours to create a Twelve (12) Segment Colour Wheel.
Process
In groups of three (3), follow these steps to complete your quest:
- Step 1: Discover the Basics
- Watch a short video explaining Primary, Secondary and Tertiary Colours
- Take notes, and document what happens when you mix two (2) primary colours, one primary and a secondary colour, together.
- Draw a quick colour wheel in your notebook.
2. Mix it up!
- Use the Primary colours to mix Secondary and Tertiary Colours.
3. Create Your Colour Wheel
- Construct a twelve (12) segment colour wheel
- Use paint or coloured pencils to colour each segment in its correct order
- Label each segment with its colour name.

Conclusion
Congratulations! Colour Explorer. You have journeyed through the world of colours, learning how to mix and label them.
As you move forward in Art, remember, Wassily Kandinsky states that " Colour is a power which directly influences the soul", so go on, keep experimenting, keep creating and let your colours shine bright!

Subject: Visual Arts
Grade: 7
Topic: Colour
Period: 3 sessions
Learning Objectives:
Students will, at the end of the lesson, be able to:
- View a video on Colour theories and identify the different categories of colour
- Collaboratively document notes on the various categories of colour (Primary, Secondary and Tertiary) from the viewed video.
- Explore colours by mixing primary and secondary colours.
- In groups, construct a Twelve (12) segment colour wheel that is coloured and labelled correctly.
Content
Video of Basic Colour Theory/ Easy Colour Wheel: Primary, Secondary and Tertiary Colours.
This video will explain to students how the three primary colours mix to form secondary colours and then how tertiary colours arise
The video also demonstrates how to construct a twelve segment colour wheel.
Materials:
- Paint, paint brushes, compass, pencil, blank paper, ruler, pencil crayons, palette, overalls and water, internet access and devices.
Product: A fully labelled colour wheel that will aid in colour swatching.
Process:
- The teacher will begin the lesson by asking random students questions based on colour that will stimulate the students' prior knowledge.
- The teacher will then allow the students to form groups of three and then watch a video on colour theory.
- Students within their groups will then document their findings observed from the video
- After which, the teacher will allow the students to experiment with the colours by mixing them
- Finally, the teacher will then ask the students to construct a twelve segment colour wheel that is labelled correctly.
Evaluation:
The teacher will evaluate the lesson by grading the completed Twelve segment colour wheel.
