Terrence Learns How We See Color by K5 Learning
Terrence was excited about his new watercolor set. He loved to draw and paint. He liked
to draw and paint race cars, airplanes, and trucks. He liked to use all kinds of colors in his
pictures. He was learning how to mix colors together to make new and interesting colors.
He showed one of his new pictures to his dad one day. His dad said, "These are such
amazing colors! Do you know how our eyes see different colors?"
Terrence had never thought about that before, but he was interested. "No, he said. "We
just see them, I guess." "Well," said his dad. "It's a little more complicated than that." "Tell
me, then!" Terrence said. "Maybe it will help me learn how to mix cool new colors."
*All right," Terrence's dad said. "But first you need to know about light. A light beam is
made up of smaller beams of different colors. Our eyes see these many-colored beams as
colorless. But when light beams hit an object, our eyes see that object as a certain color. This
is because the object absorbs all of the color beams except one. The color that isn't absorbed
is the color we see."
Terrence thought about all this for a bit. He thought he understood what his dad was
saying. "What else can you tell me about color?" he asked.
"I think you're really going to like hearing about how the color wheel works," his dad said.
"But right now, it's time for dinner."
