Lesson Goals

 Today we will learn that:

 colours of light can be added together to form a variety of colours through two investigations.

 Pigments can subtract colours from light.

Recognizing Colours

 Your eyes have only 3 types of cells that can recognize millions of colours.

 When you observe a colour, it is because different combinations of these cells are stimulated.

 A TV screen uses a system of only three colours to create the effect of many different colours, just like the cells in your eyes.

Primary Colours

 PRIMARY COLOURS:

 Three colours that can be combined to create any other colour.

 Can be additive or subtractive.

RED GREEN BLUE

Additive Primary Colours

 ADDITIVE PRIMARY COLOURS ARE:

Red

Green

Blue

 These three colours of light are also known as primary colours.

Additive Primary Colours

 Creating different colours of light depend on the additive colour theory.

 When all 3 primary colours are combined, they make

white light.

Additive Secondary Colours

 By combining only two of the primary colours, you will make a secondary colour.

 These are:

 Yellow

 Cyan

 Magenta

Complementary Colours

 Colours that are directly across from each other are complementary colours.

 Red & cyan

 Green & magenta

 Blue & yellow

Pigments can subtract colour from light

When an object absorbs a colour, it removes (or subtracts) it from the beam of light. The colours of most of the objects that you observe every day are the result of subtracting colours.

There are three subtractive primary colours: cyan,

magenta, and yellow. A variety of combinations of these three colours can subtract light from white light to produce nearly any colour.

Magenta, cyan, and yellow films subtracting colours from white light.

What do you see when these three overlap?

The colours produced by subtracting equal amounts of two of the three subtractive primary colours are called subtractive secondary colours .

The subtractive secondary colours are the same as the three additive primary colours (red, green, and blue) .

When the three subtractive primary colours are added together and subtracted from white light, you get black. The “code” for black is K so as not to be confused with blue.

Subtractive Colour Theory of Light

 If a colour is absorbed, it will not make it to your eye. You only see the reflected colours.

 Paint and pigment manufacturers mix all three of the primary subtractive colours in varying degrees to make any range of colours reflect from a surface.

Colour Wheel

The COLOUR WHEEL shows how all the colours are related.

Colour Wheel

Tertiary colours are formed by mixing the secondary colours. The resulting colours are yellow-green, orange,

crimson, cobalt, and turquoise.

Colour Wheel Relationships

The subtractive primary colours cyan, magenta, and yellow are the same as the additive secondary

colours.

Colour Wheel Relationships

The additive primary colours red, green, and blue are the same as the subtractive

secondary colours.

Colour Wheel Relationships

The colours that are directly across from each other on the colour wheel are

complementary colours.

When you add complementary colours, the result is white.

When you subtract complementary colours, the result is black.

Using Diagrams to Illustrate

Subtractive Colours

Diagrams can be used to show how colours are subtracted from white light when it hits a film of a certain colour.

Part B:

 At your desk in groups of 2 or 3.

Pg. 301 “What To Do”. Do # 6 and 7.

Please record your observations on your handout.

Part C:

 Answer the questions on the handout.

HAND-IN YOUR ACTIVITY HANDOUT AT THE END OF CLASS.

HOMEWORK: Handouts on Addition & Subtractive Colours

STATION 1 - YELLOW

 Place the YELLOW film over the colour wheel found on page 299 of the textbook.

 Beside each colour on your list (see handout), write the colour that it appears to be after the YELLOW film was placed over it.

 Go to the next colour station

 There are 4 colour stations to complete.

STATION 2 - RED

 Place the RED film over the colour wheel found on page 299 of the textbook.

 Beside each colour on your list (see handout), write the colour that it appears to be after the RED film was placed over it.

 Go to the next colour station

 There are 4 colour stations to complete.

STATION 3 - ORANGE

 Place the ORANGE film over the colour wheel found on page 299 of the textbook.

 Beside each colour on your list (see handout), write the colour that it appears to be after the ORANGE film was placed over it.

 Go to the next colour station

 There are 4 colour stations to complete.

STATION 4 - GREEN

 Place the GREEN paddle over the colour wheel found on page 299 of the textbook.

 Beside each colour on your list (see handout), write the colour that it appears to be after the GREEN paddle was placed over it.

 Go to the next colour station

 There are 4 colour stations to complete.
