Colour Theory Prompt Cards

Free arts printable for teachers · Cards

Colour Theory Prompt Cards: A single A4 sheet divided into 12 dashed-line boxes (numbered 1–12). Each box has a bold heading (e.g. PRIMARY COLOURS, SECONDARY COLOURS, WARM COLOURS, TINTS, SHADES, HIGH CONTRAST, YOUR CHOICE), a 1–2 sentence prompt, and a small coloured visual (dots, coloured squares, gradient swatches, a contrast rectangle, or palette/brush icon). Cut marks and a clear title 'COLOUR THEORY PROMPT CARDS' at the top.

About this printable

This sheet contains twelve numbered prompt cards that introduce and reinforce basic colour-theory concepts with a short instruction and a small visual example on each card (dots, squares, gradients or contrast rectangles). It's designed to be printed, cut along the dashed lines and used as quick task prompts for individual or small-group art activities. The language is concise but uses terminology (complementary, analogous, tints, shades, tone) that benefits from teacher modelling for younger students.
