Colour Mixing with Paint
Work with an experienced Daisi artist to discover the eternal art of colour mixing. In this session, participants will explore paint in a way that’s appropriate to their age range. They will mix a range of colours and compare the effects across the class, developing their ability to discuss the impact and feelings elicited by different colours.
Through a series of short activities, the session breaks down the process of paint mixing for both colour and consistency, before exploring ways to use, present and share the array of colours produced.
When booking your session, you will be able to communicate the cross-curricular topics that your class are working on. Where possible, the artist will gently incorporate this theme into the final activity.

About the Artist
The workshop will be delivered by a Daisi artist experienced in painting and in breaking these techniques down to their core components. As these are essential skills for many visual artists, a number of Daisi artists are able to deliver this workshop, and will be identified based on availability.
