• Objectives:
1. Identify and name the colors in
the color wheel;
2. Appreciate colors and the
importance of the color wheel in creating
designs; and
3. Make a color wheel applying the
color theory .
“Bring me” game
Unlocking of terms:
• Primary colors – the sources of all colors
• Secondary colors – are produced when
mixing two equal amounts of primary
colors.
• Color theory – both the science and art
of using colors
•Refraction - the bending of light as it
passes through a medium.
Activity:

What is color theory?
Refraction – the bending of light as it passes
through a medium
Isaac Newton, 1666, was the first to realize that
light -- which moves in a wave -- is composed of
individual waves, each with its own color. He
invented the color wheel
“Color theory is both the science and art
of using color. It explains how humans
perceive color; and the visual effects of
how colors mix, match or contrast with
each other. Color theory also involves the
messages colors communicate; and the
methods used to replicate color.”
• Modern color theory is heavily based on
Isaac Newton’s color wheel, which displays
three categories of colors: primary colors
(red, blue, yellow), secondary colors
(created by mixing two primary colors),
and intermediate or tertiary ones (created
by mixing primary and secondary colors).
.
The color wheel is a tool that illustrates how colors
are organized, blended and used. Colors wheels are
used by artists and scientists.
Primary colors – RED,
YELLOW, BLUE
Secondary colors –
GREEN, VIOLET, ORANGE
Intermediate colors –
Red-Orange, Yellow-
Orange, Yellow- Green,
Blue-Green, BlueViolet,
and Red- Violet
APPLICATION
MAKE A COLOR WHEEL
Together with your group, Do the following activities:
Group 1 – Use only primary colors to color the wheel. Label each
section of the color wheel with their color names.
Group 2- Primary and secondary colors will be used to create color
wheel instead of mixing only with primary colors. Label each section of
the color wheel with their color names
Group 3 - Crayons of all 9 colors will be used to color the color wheel
instead of mixing colors with paint. Label each section of the color
wheel with their color names
Thank you
