On one side of the line we find blues, greens, and purples. Once your color wheel is complete you'll notice we can divide a line down the center. Do not scribble as this dries out your marker and does not create neat work. For example, orange should go between red and yellow and so on. Fill in the secondary colors between the two primary colors used to make that color.
In each of 3 alternating sections, put red, yellow, and blue. We will need six equal sections of the circle. We will put the primary colors down first. The color wheel is in a circle so that we can read it for information. Let's begin making our color wheel, using the primary and secondary colors. Mixing red and yellow we get orange mixing red and blue we get purple and mixing blue and yellow we get green. The secondary colors are colors created by mixing 2 primary colors together.
However, with these 3 colors, we can mix all other colors. These colors are called primary because they are first and most important colors because we cannot use any other colors to mix them. There are 3 primary colors: red, yellow, and blue. Let's begin with the basic primary colors. Knowing a little about color will help you to make better color choices in your art work. We want to begin today's class by looking at basic color theory.
The student will know the primary, secondary, warm, and cool color schemes.
