Secondary Colors
Worksheet Description
This worksheet is an educational tool that illustrates the concept of creating secondary colors through the combination of primary colors. It features a set of star-shaped graphics, each labeled with the names of primary colors (red, yellow, blue) and the resulting secondary colors (orange, green, purple) that they produce when mixed. The stars are arranged in equation-like structures, with two primary colored stars adding up to one secondary colored star. The students’ task is to color the stars accordingly and then draw lines to connect the primary colors with their corresponding secondary color outcome.
The worksheet’s objective is to teach students about secondary colors-orange, green, and purple-and how they are derived from the mixing of primary colors. It guides students to understand that red and yellow make orange, blue and yellow make green, and red and blue make purple. This visual and interactive approach helps students to memorize color relationships and the basics of color theory. The activity reinforces the concept that colors can be combined to form new ones, which is a fundamental skill in art and design education.
