Opis

The CMY color system - with Cyan Magenta and Yellow as primary colors - is taught in fun color lessons in the form of silly counting rhymes and bold full-color illustrations. Note there are different editions for US or UK/International English spelling. There is a matching colouring book too, as well as free colouring and craft activity downloads. Also see the Kindle versions. What are the names of the primary colors?
And how do we mix some of the others?
Where does the color fit?
And which is its opposite? Whacky friends help you count
And teach what color's all about
It's color fun time
In number and rhyme Little characters - from one arty mouse to twelve smiling crocs - take children around the color wheel. Bear and bug rhymes further explain the colors brown and black, and additional rhymes explain shades, tints, tones, hue and the names of colors. Small children will enjoy listening to the color rhymes, early readers will enjoy reading them, and teachers and parents can refer to the color theory rhymes to explain the system to young children. Each rhyme is also repeated in a plain prose sentence. The CMY system is a good color system to teach to young children, as it is used extensively in our modern world of commercial printing, paint mixes and inks for desktop printers. Indie authors too, have had to come to grips with it The quality of color printing we enjoy today, came about with the introduction of the CMYK system. Black was added to give depth to CMY color images (it is indicated by the letter K as can be seen in print cartridges). Color theory is a fascinating part of both the art and science worlds. Famous artists, philosophers and scientists ranging from Goethe to Mansell, and Da Vinci to Newton have all grappled with the qualities of color and light. There is also a Color Count and Discover Kindle version and a coordinating printed coloring book. The latter makes a perfect side-by-side pair with either the print or digital main book. There are additional products and teaching materials like posters that feature the little characters in the rhymes. All make great gifts and learning aids.
