Art Education
Warm and cool colours
In Class 9 Art Education, the topic Warm and Cool Colours introduces students to how colours are grouped within Colour Theory and how each group affects the viewer. Students identify warm colours such as red, orange and yellow, and cool colours such as blue, green and violet. They explore how these colours can suggest heat, energy, calmness, distance or space, and learn to use colour contrast, harmony and temperature in drawings, paintings and simple compositions. Practical activities help them observe, mix and apply colours thoughtfully.
