A Rainbow Umbrella!



With the Year 6-7 (Classi Prime) we continued our work on color theory, painting this “Rainbow Umbrella”. As in the color wheel we used acrylic or tempera colours, using only the three primary colours, Yellow, Magenta and Cyan.



Draw a circle with a compass, draw the gores with a ruler
and paint three gores with primary colours 
Mix the primary colors to obtain the secondary 
Mix the primary colors with the secondary to obtain the tertiary 
Take a photo of your legs and make a collage with a newspaper clipping
in the background
You can also put a different background
