Students in 5/6S, after learning about complementary colours, have been learning to mix and blend paint to create paintings that capture the essence of autumnal leaves. Complementary colours are colours that are opposite to one another on a colour wheel and cancel each other out. This colour theory is based on the idea that colours opposite each other on the colour wheel create a striking contrast and enhance each other when used together. Some common pairs of complimentary colours include blue and orange which students experimented with, as well as red and green, and yellow and purple. 

Here are some pictures of the painting process as well as some finished paintings.
