Colours art class
- 1. COLOURS… Learning about them… by Maria Codina - ART CLASS
- 2. The Colour Wheel was developed by Isaac Newton. The Colour Wheel is made up of 3 different types of colours: Primary, Secondary and Tertiary. Red, yellow and blue are called primary colours because they cannot be created mixing other colours. Only natural pigments are used to create them. All the colours found on the Colour Wheel can be created by mixing primary colours together. In the 1660s, English physicist and mathematician Isaac Newton began a series of experiments with sunlight and prisms. He demonstrated that clear white light was composed of seven visible colours: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. And he thought that the colours of the rainbow were analogous to the notes of the musical scale. Newton laid the path for others to experiment with color in a scientific manner.
- 3. The Colour Wheel It’s an easy visual way of understanding colours’ relationships with each other. Mix the primary colours RED, YELLOW, and BLUE, and you get the secondary colours on the color wheel: orange, green, and violet. Mix those with a primary colour, and you get the third level of the colour wheel, tertiary colours. Those include red-orange, yellow-orange, yellow-green, blue-green, blue-violet, and red-violet.

Neutral colours are not associated with any colour. They are black, white, grey and some browns. When we mix them up with others, the intensity of the colours changes.
