Colour Class
What is you favourite colour? How do artists choose which colour they will use in a painting? Students will use different visual art and drama conventions to explore and develop their understanding of an artist’s use of colour. Time is spent discussing the art on display, followed by interactive art and drama activities to explore and develop colour use.
