Colour Quest: Exploring Artists Colours

This series of activities is aimed at making the exploration of art and colour interactive and fun for young children. The activities draw inspiration from the palettes of cartoon artists included on the posters.
Each activity aims to enhance different skill sets such as colour recognition, creativity, imagination, emotional awareness, observational and problem-solving skills.
Activities include colour identification, storytelling with art, colour-based emotion exercises, a scavenger hunt, colour mixing and finger painting.

The resource includes a planning sheet with 7 activity ideas that use the 11 colour artist cartoon posters that are included. The final sheet gives a black and white version of the cartoon artist. There are 4 to a page, so these can be enlarged or/and cut out.

Suitable for Early Years and KS1 children. Useful for English Language Learning and Art and Design lessons. Can be used as a unit of work or dipped in and out of as individual lessons.
