The colour magicians

This activity aims to offer pupils a fun exploration of colours. It addresses several key questions: how do you get colours to paint a picture? What is a primary colour and a secondary colour? And which colours go well together?

Through practical experiments, each young person will discover these concepts and make their own colours, which they can then test. The workshop uses pigments and gum arabic, which allows for a concrete and sensory approach to colour mixing.
