1st ESO ART. Unit 2.2 The colour wheel

To work with pigment in class we are going to use tempera. Tempera is a color pigment.

The primary colour pigments are: Cyan, magenta and Yellow.
With the mixture of the primary colours we can obtain all the other colours.
The primary colours cannot be obtained by mixting other ones.

Mixting two primary colours in equal parts we produce the secondary colours:


Secondary colours in colour pigment are: Green, red and blue


When we mixt a primary colour and a secondary colour in equal parts we obtain the tertiary colours. Primary, secondary and tertiary colours are represented together in the COLOUR WHEEL
