Reading Comprehension Did you know the colours that we see do not really belong to the things we see them on? That red marker your teacher ‘uses on a whiteboard is not really red. What gives anything its colour depends on the J rays of light it reflects. Natural light is made up of white colour rays. The white rays in turn are made up of the colours that we see on a rainbow: red, orange, yellow, | White light Saciee s Only red green, blue, indigo and violet. When light is | ™deupofred, |} redmarker )) ig emitted from a light source, it travels in | "8" y¥ellow, |) which so oocloaly straight lines and strikes an object. The | St. bie a ‘ed. object then absorbs some colours of the | iS area rays but reflects other colours. 2 ise A red marker appears red because it absorbs all the other colours and reflects only red light rays which then bounce off the marker and enter our eyes. Similarly, brown soil absorbs all the other colours and reflects a combination of light rays that mix together to create brown. The whiteboard appears white because it does not absorb any light rays; it absorbs none and reflects all of the coloured rays. On the other hand, black absorbs all the colour rays and reflects none. A colour wheel is used to help us learn about and use colours. There are three primary colours: red, yellow and blue, from which all other colours can be mixed. When any ‘two primary colours are mixed, a secondary colour, such as orange, is formed. A tertiary colour, like yellow-green, emerges when one primary and a secondary colour next to it are combined. Artists use combinations of these colours to paint. They select some of the colours and mix and apply them in different ways. Colours closer to red and yellow are called warm colours that are associated with the sun, heat and light. Colours closer to green and blue are cool colours related to the shadows, coldness and night. Artists use warm and cool colours to create light and dark, closeness and distance and colour tones to make their paintings come alive. Remember, when colours are mixed, what is actually done is to make that colour absorb and reflect light differently. EduscapeCaribbean.
