Colours before my eyes
How do colours affect me? What effect do they have on how I see a work? By means of games and discussions, followed by a painting workshop, this tour will awaken children to the fascinating world of colour.
Throughout it they will take part in observation and sensory activities, as well as word association games.

Once everyone is back together, describe the colours: for example, dark green or light green, grass green or pine green, and so on. Encourage the students to come up with original names.
