Art Education
Primary colours
In this Class 9 Art Education topic within the Colour Theory chapter, students learn why primary colours are treated as the basic colours in the traditional paint-based model: red, yellow and blue. They explore how different mixtures of these colours produce secondary colours such as orange, green and violet, and how a colour wheel helps show these relationships. The topic also builds understanding of hue, shades, tints and balanced colour use through simple observation and painting exercises.
