What we can see and feel the color is due to the action of light. We can recognize colors for the first time by reflecting and transmitting the light of the wavelength that could not be absorbed by the motif or pigment. In other words, the mechanism we feel color is inseparable from scientific phenomena.
It is also very relevant to chemical reactions that the paint is dried, and the effects of the effect pigments glittering. In this article, there are many art materials that stimulate intellectual curiosity, which are perfect for elementary school free research. By all means, let's consider the subject of free research using Pigment Tokyo art materials.
① Let's know the mechanism of color
The color is composed of blue (cyan), red (magenta), and yellow (yellow) called Mihara color.
The basic colors we see can be expressed by mixing these three colors.
The 12 colors based on Mihara colors are called "color wheels" and are referred to as "color wheels".
Please see the figure below. For example, you can make purple by mixing red and blue colors.

In this figure, the color to be paired is called "complementary color", and the color of the color is very different, so it has the effect of enhancing each other by combining these two.
In many cases, this combination is used for corporate logo and advertising.
In addition, by mixing this complementary color, it becomes a perfect color, that is, black or gray. This is a phenomenon caused by the color of each other when the colors are absorbed.
AQYLA is recommended for these color experiments.
This paint does not include lead, mercury, or cadmium, and has a low formaldehyde, so it is an environment -friendly water -soluble tube paint. With this, children can easily experiment with colors. It is easy to clean because it does not solidify immediately like acrylic paint only.
Aqyla can also be drawn to various supports. It can be drawn directly on paper and canvas, metal and glass, and it is water -resistant when it is completely dried, making it convenient for work.
Here is a diagram of a mixed color pattern based on the drawing of the color ring ring.
For example, when mixed with red and yellow, it becomes orange, yellow and blue, and the combination is diverse. If you try it in an experimental sense of what kind of change will occur by mixing colors, the color when you mix them all, there may be new discoveries when you try it in an experimental sense.

② Learn the ingredients of the paint and make it
If you have already learned the color mechanism at school, it may be a good idea to actually make paint. Some people may feel the hurdle when it comes to "making paint", but paint is made of combination of pigments and medical, for example, it can be easily created by combining this painting material.

A pigment paste is a liquid color material that is kneaded with pigments and water. However, since this alone does not have adhesive force, it becomes paint by adding medium that is a glue.
By mixing this "Gum Arabic Watercolor Medium", if you want to make watercolor paint and make acrylic paint, use "Acrylic Emaltion" to make acrylic paint.
For those who want to learn about making paint from Pigment TOKYO art supplies experts, we recommend this lab's "Watercolor Painting" workshop. In this course, it is a workshop for beginners that can challenge handmade using marble plates and kneaded rods as a classic Western classic method.

After learning about the ingredients of paint from the instructor, you can experience your favorite color from the prepared pigment and make your own paint.

③ Let's know what color is made
Pigment Tokyo has a 4500 color pigment, but more than half of it is rock paint. These are powdered ore and glass, with a beautiful particle feeling, and the rough materiality is attractive.
At this lab store, it exhibits ore, which is the raw material for natural rock paint, but this is more deeper. The raw material of Ultra -blue is a type of stone called "Rancho" and is a secondary mineral of copper. In addition, the raw materials of green blue are called "Kujakuishi", which are also secondary minerals of copper.
10 -yen coins, which are familiar to the Japanese, can be rusted when rusted, but as well as green blue, it is generated by oxidizing the ingredients of the raw material with water, acids and salt. In other words, the "color" of the same ingredients as the color of the Japanese painting is hidden in our familiar places.
In addition, color materials are made from various other raw materials.
The dried paint is a colored material made by paste the crushed kells into paste, colored and dried. It is flake -like and cannot be mixed as it is, so it is used in powdered mortar and a pignot.
The clay paint, which has a similar shape to the dried paint, is a natural pigment that has been used since ancient times. These have been used in murals of tumuli and caves that have been remaining for a long time. In particular, green soil is called "tail belt" in English and is a color with a history that has been frequently used in Europe.
Observe and compare color materials of various raw materials to see what differences are. In Japan, various colors are related to the motifs according to the four seasons. It is a good idea to go to a nearby museum / museum and pay attention to the colors used in the masterpieces.
④ Let's observe the difference in ink color
The ink that is generally used in calligraphy classes is similar to the ink, which was used in book works, but is strictly different.
Ink is a basic form of solid ink made from soot and glue, which is collected by burning oil and wood such as plants. However, from this state, it takes time to polish it with inkstone and water to make the liquid ink. Therefore, the liquid ink that adds synthetic glue instead of glue is a so -called ink. Although it is convenient, it is not possible to obtain the original color of the ink.

Write the operation of the solid ink into a liquid in an inkstone in a kanji. It is derived from the movement that the word polishing is not rubbed instead of rubbing. If you work with the image of gently ink on the flat surface of the inkstone, as if you are grated inkstone, you can create a beautiful ink without damaging the ink or inkstone.
The best difference between ink and ink polished in inkstone with a solid ink is when drawn on a paper with high water absorption.
In this lab, we recommend this Japanese paper when using ink.
This paper is a Japanese paper made of bamboo, which is not applied to bleeding and emphasizes the good absorption and the facial expression on the surface, and is suitable for bamboo expressions suitable for ink painting. In particular, the exquisite coloring caused by soot when diluted with water can create a rich gradation that is difficult to express with ink.
Because it is thick, it does not bend like a half -paper, so it can be stored easily.
Ink and ink with solid ink make it easier to understand the difference when you make gray gradation, so it would be interesting to compare what differences from what you usually use in class.
Detailed processes that polish ink are Pigment Articles above"Polish the ink -the beauty of the five sizas woven by soot and glue"Please see here as it is described in.
If you do not have a solid ink and an inkstone, we also recommend a colorful ink that you can easily start. This is a solid ink that solidifies the pigment and glue like solid ink, and can be polished using a dedicated pottery inkstone to draw a Japanese traditional color.

In addition, there are various possibilities for art materials, such as finding the color of the effect pigment, the difference in texture and nature of each medium, and the color of natural -derived.
