Art Education
Colour
रंग
In this Class 9 Art Education topic from “Elements of Art,” students explore how colour communicates mood, meaning, depth, and visual emphasis in an artwork. They learn about hue, value, and intensity, along with primary, secondary, warm, and cool colours. The topic also introduces colour harmony and contrast, helping students understand how different combinations create balance, focus, and atmosphere. Students apply these ideas while observing, analysing, and developing their own compositions.
