Session 2: Painting and Colour

Select different papers for colour interest and create a sketchbook for

recording colour

Learning Outcomes:

Introduce processes and experiences of learning in art and design model: Explore Create Understand Evaluate

Understanding art and design experiences and materials:

Drawing PaintingPrintmakingCollageTextilesSculptureDigital media

For example, understanding in art and design may involve:

Experience: Drawing

Materials: pencils, felt pens, threads, torn and cut paper

Visual, spatial and tactile elements: line, shape, tone, pattern.

Supporting learning in painting: explore and investigate

Experiment with paint quality and application

Experiment with and match colour qualities

Supporting learning in painting and colour: developing subject knowledgePrimary colours: blue red yellow

(cannot be mixed)Secondary colours: purple orange green

(mixed with two primary colours)Tertiary colours: (mixed with primary and secondary)

e.g. red + purple = red/purple green + blue = green/blue

Complementary (opposite each other on colour wheel)can be mixed to create ‘grey’ tonal ranges

Linking visual elements and art experiences: colour, painting and sculpture

Investigating colour, shape, space and form through the art experiences of painting and paper sculpture

Frogmore Junior School Year 6

Application of knowledge and skills:

Exploring Colour, shape and pattern through painting

Frogmore Junior School Year 3

Supporting learning: extending vocabulary: Primary colour: colour that cannot be obtained by mixing

Secondary colour: made from mixtures of two primaries

Tertiary colour: a mix of one primary and one secondary, effectively three colours

Complementary colours: colours which react most with each other and are opposite on the colour wheel

Tone: lightness and darkness of colour

Hue: the property of a colour that enables it to be identified as red, yellow etc

Intensity: saturation, the brightness or brilliance of a colour

Monochrome: single colour scheme

Achromatic: black and white

Supporting learning in painting:control through challenge

Take one colour and mix as dark as possible without using black and apply to the paper in four different ways

Mix a colour thinly then apply a ‘wash’ of that colour

Now paint over the wash with thick paint of the same colour

Mix light colours to paint over dark - creamy with white

Match oil pastels to painted areas

Supporting Learning: exploring colour and paint in artists work:What are the main colours the artist used?Does the background have different colours from

those in the foreground?Look for different shades of the same colour -

what have they been used for?Do any colours stand out from the rest?Why do you think the artist chose to use these

colours? How has the colour been used (small dots, blocks,

thickly, thinly)?What is the mood of the picture?

Colour and Pattern

Michael Brennand-Wood

Supporting Learning: experiment and control:

Control colour mixing to produce a range within a colour family Select appropriate collage materials and match to painted areas Develop vocabulary of colour Combine tonal colour studies and record photographically in

sketchbooks

Tiger in a Tropical Storm (Surprised!) 1891 Henri Rousseau

Year 6 Pressprint ExamplesFrogmore Junior School

Supporting learning: stimulating work from observation or experience

Produce a detailed watercolour painting using fine brushes – from observation (natural objects or eyes) or experience (story)

Work over the painting using pastels, fineliners, colour pencils, adding detail and exploring texture.

Colour Activities and the National Curriculum

Exploring colour - powder paint and brushL.I: Develop colour mixing and matching techniques through a series of challenges

Colour studies

L.I:Control colour mixing to create tones, select appropriate collage materials and match to painted areas whilst developing a colour vocabulary

Application of skills and knowledge

L.I: Apply experience of painting process and develop control using fine brushes to produce a detailed watercolour painting

Learning Intentions in Art (Colour) London Borough of Tower Hamlets Inspection and Advisory Services

Year 3: Know the primaries and mix and name secondaries.Demonstrate increasing skills at matching colours to real objects and artefacts.

Year 4: Use specific colour language e.g. tint, tone and different kinds of a single colour e.g. scarlet, crimson.

Year 5: Use b+w to create shades and tints. Demonstrate a secure knowledge about P, S and C colours. Demonstrate a wide colour vocabulary and know, for example, which colour families ultramarine and turquoise belong to.

Year 6: Name S,T and C colours and how to mix them. Name a reasonably wide range of different painters and be able to apply their knowledge of these to their own work e.g. painting techniques.

Brush Care

Dip brush in cold water (hot water can damage the brush)

Use a cloth to wipe off excess paintRinse brush under tapRub brush over household soapRinse well under cold tap
