Lesson No. 1 : Harmony in Plants
Learning CodeA3PL-IIc : Perceives how harmony is created
in an artwork because of
complementary colors and
shapes
THINK ABOUT THIS
Painting is an art form dating way back thousands of years
ago. It is the process of using paint to express ideas and emotions.
There are different techniques in painting and one of this is the
resist technique. Painters have developed their own creative
ways of doing an artwork.
Look at the group of colors and the color wheel. These will
be useful in your painting activity.
Primary colors
Try mixing the primary colors. What colors are produced
We can form the Secondary Colors by mixing the primary
colors. Look at the illustration below.

5. 5
Notice the colors in the color wheel. Colors which are
opposite each other are called complementary colors.
Examples are blue and orange, red and green, and yellow
and violet.

BE CREATIVE
Harmony in Plants
1. Go out of the classroom and explore the
environment. Observe plants that you like most and
you would like to draw.
2. Draw the plants. These can be overlapped.
Overlapping can make your artwork more
interesting.
3. Color the plants with secondary colors or their
opposite color in the color wheel to create harmony
in your painting. These colors are complementary
and they create harmony in your painting.
FRAME YOUR THOUGHTS
Harmony in painting is a pleasing visual arrangement of
colors. It is created when secondary colors and their
opposite colors or complementary colors in the color wheel
are used.

Lesson No.2 : Landscape Painting
Code A3EL-IIa : Sees that there is harmony in nature as seen
in the color of landscapes
THINK ABOUT THIS
Painting a landscape at different times of the day is a
challenging activity for artists. Most of the paintings are affected
by the mood of the artist. Painting with bright colors (yellow, red,
orange) gives out the feeling of happiness and joy, while painting
with dull and dark colors (blue, blue-green, red-violet) suggests
loneliness and sadness.
BE CREATIVE

1. Think of a time of the day you want to portray in your
landscape. Decide the color to use, bright or dull, light
or dark.

warm and cool colors.
Cool colors include blue, violet, and green. These colors
make us feel cool, peaceful, and calm. Warm colors are red,
yellow and orange. They suggest feelings of warmth and
happiness.

Lesson No. 6 : Tints and Shades of Color
Code A3PR-IIe : Creates new tints and shades of colors
by mixing two or more colors
THINK ABOUT THIS
Colors vary. There are colors that are light and dark. The
lightness (tints) or darkness (shades) of a color is called value.
Tints are light values that are made by mixing a color with
white. For example, pink is a tint of red, and light blue is a tint of
blue.
Shades are dark values that are made by mixing a color with
black. Maroon is a shade of red, and navy is a shade of blue.

19. 19
Graduation of tints and shade depends on the amount of
white or black paint added e.g. light pink, medium pink and
intense pink- another term for red.
A. Tints of Color Red
red + white = pink
B. Shades of Color Red
red + black = maroon
BE CREATIVE
Activity I :
Producing Tints and Shades

A tint is the mixture of a color with white and
