Colour Experiments for Future ArtistsPaperback, 1 November 2018

Colour Experiments for Future Artists explains what colour is and how to use it to make Art.

Beginning with sunlight, children will make a camera obscura to safely observe the Sun and use water to break light into a spectrum of colour.

Experiments and step by step activities reveal simple colour relationships. "Colours have friends" (complimentary colours), "colours have a family" (hue). The scale increases to our colour street (colour circle) and colour planet (tints and shades). Children will learn to move colours up and down the street by mixing colours. The book concludes with the amazing ways colour helps us explore distant worlds.
