Cool and Warm Colors
After we learned about the primary colors and mixed and made secondary colors, 1st graders learned about cool and warm colors. Cool colors are dominated by blues, greens, and purples and make us feel calm, relaxed, and quiet. In contrast, we discussed how warm colors, which are dominated by reds, yellows, and oranges, make us feel excited and give us energy. We talked about what the word contrast means and we showed examples of contrast with color and also with how we drew the rays of light. On onee side they are straight and the other side they are curvy.
