Color Theory

• The child learned about primary, secondary, and tertiary colors.
• They also learned about complementary colors and how they can create contrast in artwork.
• The child experimented with color mixing and learned how different combinations can create new colors.
• They explored the concept of color temperature and how warm and cool colors can evoke different emotions.

For continued development, encourage the child to explore different color schemes such as monochromatic, analogous, and triadic. They can create artworks using these schemes to further understand how colors interact with each other. Additionally, they can experiment with different mediums such as watercolors, colored pencils, or pastels to see how colors behave differently on different surfaces.
