Art Education
Colour mixing
In this Class 9 Art Education topic from the Colour Theory chapter, students learn how colours combine to create new hues and expressive effects. They explore primary, secondary and intermediate colours, practise mixing proportions, and observe how tints, shades and tones change with the addition of white, black or neutral colours. The topic also develops understanding of warm and cool colours, colour balance and thoughtful selection of combinations in artworks.
