Understand the science of colour by making art

Does the topic of colour make you feel blue? This book will help you to work like a scientist: testing ideas, making investigations and doing experiments. But you’ll also be an artist, working with colour to discover how the eye perceives different wavelengths. Let’s mix some colours!

Science Makes Art skilfully blends science theory with fun art projects to encourage learning and creativity. It’s the perfect series to engage young scientists and artists, introducing them to key science principles and encouraging reluctant readers.

Using materials from around the home, make art projects such as:
– Rainbow art
– Colour spinners
– Leaf collage
– Camouflage art
– Tie-dye fun
