Complimentary Colour used in artwork KS2

A short powerpoint i put together to discuss the use of complimentary colours in famous artwork. This was part f a series of lessons on interpretations of Hokusai’s Great wave. The lesson begins with the retrieval of primary , secondary colours and how they mix. It then moves onto look at which colours work well together and which do not. There are examples used by famous artists to show which complimentary colours work well together. The children really enjoyed this discussion and applied their knowledge of complimentary colours in their own designs .
