TEXTURE: the actual or visual feel of an object and relates to the sense of touch. The construction or make up of a surface gives it its texture. In Visual Arts we can show the way a surface feels by using tone, lines, marks, dots and cross-hatching. COLOUR: Primary colours: red, yellow and blue. These are pure pigments and are the basic colours from which all other colours are mixed. Secondary colours: when you mix two primary colours together you will get a secondary colour:
Red and blue = purple Yellow and red = orange Blue and yellow = green Related or family colours: are the colours that lie next to each other on the colour wheel because they contain some of the colour next to them, for example: Yellow, yellow-orange, orange, yellow, yellow-green, green Cool and warm colours: Cool colours are the colours of the sky and water because they create an effect or feeling of coolness: Blues, greens and purples
Warm colours are the colours of the sun, fire and earth: Browns, reds, oranges and yellows
TONE: a tonal range is a range of black and white or a colour that moves from light to dark.
Complementary colour contrasts Revise basic colour theory first, for example all colours start with the three primary colours; red, yellow and blue. When we mix two primary colours together we get a secondary colour: Complementary colours can be described as opposite colours as they lie opposite each other on the colour wheel.
Purple has no yellow in it and therefore yellow is complementary to purple. Orange has no blue in it, therefore blue is complementary to orange. Green has no red in it, therefore red is complementary to green.
Create in 2-D
A shape that is flat like a sheet of paper is two-dimensional. Point out the different formats: circular, square or rectangular that can be used in drawing and painting. A format can be used either vertically or horizontally to suit a particular topic. Develop the child’s spatial concept and awareness of their environment by introducing the concept of overlapping shapes; shapes within shapes. Use terms like in front of; behind; on top; next to.
It is important to provide rich visual stimuli that children can experience with all or some of their sensory organs. The real thing is always best but also use pictures, photos, films, videos to inspire the children.
Discuss not only what the subject matter looks like but also what responses it evokes and our emotional reactions to a given topic.
