Primary Colors: Red, yellow and blue.In traditional color theory (used in paint and pigments), primary colors are the 3 pigment colors that cannot be mixed or formed by any combination of other colors. All other colors are derived from these 3 hues.
Secondary Colors: Green, orange and purple
These are the colors formed by mixing the primary colors.
Tertiary Colors: Yellow-orange, red-orange, red-purple, blue-purple, blue-green & yellow-green
These are the colors formed by mixing a primary and a secondary color. That's why the hue is a two word name, such as blue-green, red-violet, and yellow-orange.
A palette is a range of colors. It is also the board that artists use to hold and mix paint.
Day 1:
Introduce color theory through color mixing activity (2-3 mins)
Students will participate in color mixing activity, where they must mix a color to match a previously existing color
Students will take 1 container of each color (blue, red, yellow, white, black), a paper plate pallet, brushes, and water cup to their table. Teacher will pass out to each group a color palette template, one filled in, the other blank. Working as a team, students will mix paint to replicate the colors on the palette and fill in the blank pallet. (20-30 mins)
Teacher will initiate cleanup 15 mins before class ends, giving instructions for proper brush, sink and table clean up. (2mins)

Flat color refers to a painted color that is solid, uninterrupted, and completely uniform in brushstroke, depth, and shading.
A tint is an original color to which has been added white. A tint is lighter than the original color.
A shade is an original color to which has been added black. A shade is darker than the original color.
Tone is a result of mixing a pure color with any neutral/grayscale color including the two extremes white and black. By this definition all tints and shades are also considered to be tones.
Saturation is usually one property of three when used to determine a certain color and measured as percentage value. Saturation defines a range from pure color (100%) to gray (0%) at a constant lightness level. A pure color is fully saturated.
The Elements of Art are line, shape, color, value, form, texture, and space. The Principles of Art represent how the artist uses the elements of art to create an effect and to help convey the artist's intent. The principles of art and design are balance, contrast, emphasis, movement, pattern, rhythm, and unity/variety.
