Year 1 have ben exploring why colour is important in their art lessons.

They found out that colour could affect their mood. They created sad and happy rainbows using the colours that affect how they feel. To create the sad rainbow, they used colours that are cool and for a happy rainbow they used warm colours. They then created self portraits using colours to show how they were feeling: yellow for happy, blue for sad, green for envy, red for love or anger and purple for excited.
