Basics Of Color Harmony And The Colour Wheel

Drawing classes for kids is important for the creative and cognitive development of your child. Here, the child learns the basics of drawing such as line drawing, composition, representational painting, and color harmony. In this blog, VR School of Art, one of the best drawing and oil painting lessons providers in North York, addresses the topic of color harmony and its basic principles.

What Is Colour Harmony?

Color harmony is the basic pillar of color theory, which explores the impact of color in creating different aesthetics. It explores how using and combining different colors helps highlight a different message or theme in each painting or drawing. Hence, it is essential for children to master this skill to perfectly portray their creative vision. This is done mainly by understanding the color wheel.

Basics Of Colour Wheel

The color wheel, or the chromatic wheel is a circle made of 12 colors based around the primary colors of red, green, and yellow. Since the position of the colors is fixed, it is an excellent template to follow while drawing and to better understand the role of colors during this creative process.

For instance, the primary colors - red, blue, and yellow are far apart from one another. Whereas secondary colors, which are formed by mixing primary colors such as purple, orange, and green are placed somewhere in between. Also occupying the space are some tertiary colors, which are formed by mixing primary and secondary colors. 

Therefore, by taking the guidance of the color wheel, your child can learn about complementary colors, contrasts, monochrome, and more.
