TYPES OF COLOUR AND TEXTURE
colours are divided into three main types: primary colours, secondary colours, and tertiary colours.
- Primary colours: Primary colours are colours that cannot be made by mixing other colours together. They are red, blue, and yellow.
- Secondary colours: Secondary colours are made by mixing two primary colours together. They are green (made by mixing yellow and blue), orange (made by mixing yellow and red), and purple (made by mixing blue and red).
- Tertiary colours: Tertiary colours are made by mixing a primary colour with a secondary colour. They are yellow-green, blue-green, blue-purple, red-purple, red-orange, and yellow-orange.
Now let’s talk about textures. Texture refers to how something feels or looks like it would feel if you touched it. There are four main types of texture:
- Smooth: Something is smooth if it doesn’t have any bumps or rough areas. An example of something smooth would be a glass marble or a polished stone.
- Rough: Something is rough if it has bumps or rough areas that can be felt by touch. An example of something rough would be a rock or a brick wall.
- Soft: Something is soft if it feels like it could be easily compressed or deformed when touched. An example of something soft would be a pillow or a teddy bear.
- Hard: Something is hard if it feels like it cannot be easily compressed or deformed when touched. An example of something hard would be a metal coin or a ceramic plate.

Colour Wheel
A colour wheel is a tool that shows all the colours that exist and how they relate to one another. There are two main types of colour wheels: a 6-colour wheel and a 12-colour wheel.
- 6-colour wheel: A 6-colour wheel shows the primary colours (red, blue, and yellow) and the secondary colours (green, purple, and orange). The primary colours are the three colours that cannot be made by mixing other colours together, and the secondary colours are made by mixing two primary colours together.
- 12-colour wheel: A 12-colour wheel shows the primary colours (red, blue, and yellow), secondary colours (green, purple, and orange), and tertiary colours. Tertiary colours are made by mixing a primary colour with a secondary colour. For example, yellow-green, blue-green, blue-purple, red-purple, red-orange, and yellow-orange.
Now let’s talk about paint. Paint is a type of colour that you can use to create art or decorate things. Paint comes in many different colours, and you can mix different colours of paint together to create new colours.
For example, if you mix red and yellow paint together, you will get orange paint. If you mix blue and yellow paint together, you will get green paint. And if you mix red and blue paint together, you will get purple paint.
Using a colour wheel can help you understand how to mix different colours of paint together to create new colours. For example, if you want to create a green colour, you can mix blue and yellow paint together, which are next to each other on the colour wheel

Lesson Presentation
Introduction: Begin by asking students if they know what a colour wheel is and what it is used for. Show them a 6-colour and 12-colour wheel and explain the difference between the two. Next, ask students if they know what primary, secondary, and tertiary colours are.
Direct Instruction: Explain to students that primary colours are the three colours that cannot be made by mixing other colours together, and they are red, blue, and yellow. Secondary colours are made by mixing two primary colours together, and they are green (made by mixing yellow and blue), purple (made by mixing blue and red), and orange (made by mixing yellow and red). Tertiary colours are made by mixing a primary colour with a secondary colour, and they are yellow-green, blue-green, blue-purple, red-purple, red-orange, and yellow-orange.
Demonstration: Show students how to mix different colours of paint together to create new colours. Use the primary colours to create secondary colours, and then use the secondary colours to create tertiary colours. Encourage students to mix the colours themselves and experiment with different colour combinations.
Guided Practice: Give each student a piece of paper or canvas and a paintbrush. Ask them to create a painting using the colours they have mixed. Encourage them to use the colour wheel to help them choose their colours and create new ones.
Independent Practice: Have students work independently to create another painting using the colours they have mixed. Encourage them to use different brushstrokes and techniques to create texture and interest in their paintings.
Closure: Wrap up the lesson by reviewing the primary, secondary, and tertiary colours and how to mix them using a colour wheel. Ask students to share their paintings and discuss the colours they used and how they created them.
Assessment: Assess student understanding of the lesson objectives through observation of their paintings and participation in the class discussion. Ask questions to check for understanding of the difference between primary, secondary, and tertiary colours, and how to mix colours using a colour wheel.
Extensions: For advanced students, challenge them to create a painting using only primary colours and white. Encourage them to create different shades and tints of colours by mixing white with the primary colours. For struggling students, provide them with a pre-mixed colour palette and encourage them to use the colours provided to create their painting.
