Lesson 4: Colour

Creating A Colour Wheel.

Let's Keep This Simple.

  • On a sheet of A4 paper draw a circle six inches in diameter.
  • Divide the circle into six equal parts - like a pie graph.
  • [You could if you wanted to make one in Excell.]
  • Colour each part in this order.
    1. yellow
    2. orange
    3. red
    4. purple
    5. blue
    6. green
  • mix each of these colours together equally and paint a dot of that colour in the centre of your colour wheel.
  • go back over the outlines with a black felt tipped pen so that the colour wheel is neat.
  • when you are satisfied that this is as neat as possible have it laminated and keep it with you always as a ready reference.
This is the simplest colour wheel possible to make. Leave the added, other, extra, complications for another course unless you have a burning desire to research colour - as - it sure can get complicated if you let it.
