art
Ask students: what we call this season (show Bierstadt’s Autumn art)?
and What happens to the trees?
Most students should be able to tell that tree leaves start changing
to colours.
Do they do this overnight?
No, they change gradually.

Tertiary Colours
Explain that when two secondaries or primaries (or a combination of)
- orange and green, are mixed, we call it a tertiary. Here, we got an
olive brown. Show another example by mixing green and blue to get
teal, yellow and orange to get amber. Emphasize that it is not too
important to learn the names.

pencil crayon colouring put into it? Brainstorm things like trees, falling leaves, piles of leaves
on the grass.

Tree Drawing Activity

 Students are to start with drawing and colouring in one tree that uses
mixed colours like the teacher has shown, using a tertiary in limited
amounts, to show the feeling of fall. They may add other detail, such
as animals, park elements, houses, falling leaves as they like. You can
flash a Google Image search of autumn drawings to show on the
board as inspiration.

secondary colours On another slip of paper, ask students to choose two secondaries
and quickly create a tertiary. Write down the names of the two
secondaries (ie purple, green) and then to their best ability try and
give the tertiary a name (ie olive brown).
It does not really matter if the students learn names of tertiaries. It is
important that they appreciate the kind of colours tertiaries are, and
how they are created and depicted.
