A playful, lively approach to the concept of the primary colours and their combinations. This short film can obviously be used in relation to visual arts work, but is also interesting from a science popularization point of view. Students can be asked to create a group animated film representing, for example, the functioning of the immune system or the vibration of air molecules to form sounds heard by the ear.
