Color
Color is one of the most exciting element of art. The wavelengths of light that we can see are called the color spectrum. The spectrum occurs when a ray of white light passes through a prism and is split into bands of colors. Rainbow is the best example of the spectrum. The spectrum can be arranged in a circle called a color wheel, which shows how colors are related and how they are mixed.
