Playing with Colour
||

Artists in the Library... Victor Vasarely, Wassily Kandinsky... and Mrs Nyhof
**Victor Vasarely** lived in Hungary. He loved playing with colours. He discovered that when you put some colours next to each other they seem to jump out at you - they look almost 3D! || **Wassily Kandinsky** lived in Russia. He loved playing with colours too - but his brain was rather special... when he saw colours he heard music and when he heard music he saw colours! If you had a brain like Kandinsky's I wonder what music your colourful classroom would play...... you could even paint your singing! ||

Kandinsky's Paint-box Orchestra
Every colour reminded Kandinsky of a musical instrument - red made him think of strong sounds, like trumpets. When he saw **yellow** he thought of lively instruments like piccolos. **Blue** was quiet and serious like a double base ... Have a look at his Paint-box Orchestra on the easel in the Allen Centre ||

Carmine is my name And Colour is my game So get your wheels turning Explore some [|Colour-learning] || Choose a colour from the colour- wheel. Sapphire has chosen RED .... Put it on the white card and stare hard at it while you count to 20..... take the colour away.... look at the white space... in a few seconds a ghostly shadow appears.....Surprise! It's **GREEN**! Now try the GREEN colour... || Brooke and Georgia put a small orange square in the middle of different coloured big squares. As if by magic, the brightness of the orange squares was different on each big square - the brightest of all on the blue square..... Yes! The brightest colour combinations are opposite each other on Carmine's Colour-Wheel. ||
