This activity invites students to observe the world around them to heighten their perception and understanding of colour. The aim is to support and develop their artistic dimension, to help them think about different perceptions and effects of colours, and transfer this to their own imaginations and fantasies to support their creative engagement. The activity draws on how students understand the world of colours to encourage them to produce meaningful, novel, and unusual artwork
