Set Induction

Begin the lesson by asking pupils to name any colours they know. Show them examples of objects in different colours. Then, ask if they know the difference between colours that can be made and those that cannot.

Entry Behaviour

Pupils should already have some basic understanding of colours and textures from previous lessons. They should know simple colours like red, blue, and yellow.

Learning Resources and Materials

Video clips showing different colours and textures.
Pictures of colour wheels.
Paint, brushes, and canvases/papers for each student.
Colour chart showing primary, secondary, and tertiary colours.

Building Background/Connection to Prior Knowledge

Pupils should recall the basic knowledge of colours they have encountered before, such as the concept of mixing colours to create new ones. This builds upon their prior learning about basic art concepts.

Embedded Core Skills

Critical Thinking and Problem-Solving: Pupils will think critically when mixing colours to create new ones.
Communication and Collaboration: Students will work in small groups to discuss and arrange the colours in primary and secondary groups.
Creativity and Imagination: Pupils will use their imagination when mixing colours and creating artworks.
Leadership Skills and Personal Development: Pupils will share their work with the class and demonstrate their understanding of the topic.

Instructional Materials
