Description

Colour Theory for Art Teachers is a comprehensive online professional development course designed to strengthen subject knowledge, build confidence in discussing colour, and support the teaching and analysis of colour across a wide range of art projects and artistic styles.

The objective of this training is to broaden and consolidate your understanding of colour theory, strengthen your confidence when discussing and analysing colour, and help you weave colour theory naturally into a wide variety of art projects and artistic processes.

Through this course, you will

  • Teachers will develop a broader and more confident understanding of colour theory and its relevance to secondary art education.
  • Teachers will understand the RYB colour model and how it supports colour mixing and colour analysis in art.
  • Teachers will explore key colour properties including hue, value, saturation, tints, shades and tones.
  • Teachers will investigate a range of colour schemes, with particular emphasis on complementary, harmonious (analogous), triadic, split complementary and monochromatic colour schemes through the development of a colour theory sketchbook.
  • Teachers will analyse how artists from different movements, cultures and time periods use colour to create mood, symbolism, contrast, unity and visual impact.
  • Teachers will develop greater confidence using colour theory vocabulary when discussing and analysing artwork.
  • Teachers will explore how colour behaves differently across media including painting, printmaking, digital art and cyanotype processes.
  • Teachers will identify common colour misconceptions and develop strategies for more controlled and intentional colour use.
  • Teachers will recognise how colour theory can be woven gradually into a wide range of art projects to build students’ visual literacy over time.

This on-demand online course is designed specifically for art teachers and can be completed at your own pace. It’s ideal for anyone who wants to broaden and consolidate their understanding of colour theory, build confidence in discussing colour, analyse artwork and weave colour theory naturally into a wide range of art projects and artistic processes.

  • The Colour Theory for Art Teachers Professional Development

    By CGragert on (Verified Purchase)

    This course was very informative. Resources are provided enabling you to make your own art journal spreads after every lesson. I really liked how she incorporates her own painting of the different backgrounds that enhance the lesson then adds vocabulary and artwork examples that correlate with the lesson. Thank you. I can’t wait to take other courses from you.

    Thank you for your feedback.

    Sarah Crowther – The Arty Teacher

    I set up The Arty Teacher because I have a passion for my subject that I want to share with other art teachers around the world.

    I have been a high school art teacher for over 20 years, so I understand what it’s like to be in front of a class of students, often with very different abilities and attitudes.

    I wanted to develop resources that would help teachers to bring out the best in every student in every class. I also wanted to free-up staff from time-consuming lesson preparation to let them focus instead on delivering exciting, motivating, dynamic lessons, supported by excellent resources.
