    This lesson taught students about representing colors digitally using RGB values and calculating the size of digital images. Students learned that colors can be described as a mixture of red, green, and blue light, which can each be represented by 8 bits. This allows for 256 possible values of each color component, resulting in over 16 million possible colors. The lesson concluded by having students calculate image file sizes based on resolution and color depth.

    Lesson 2:
    A splash of colour
    Year 9 – Data representations – Representations: going audiovisual
    Starter activity

    Terminology: what are the missing words?

    The elements of a digital image are called


    and are arranged in a grid of
    columns and rows.

    The number of elements in a digital image


    is the image .

    The number of binary digits used


    to represent the colour of each element is
    the .
    Objectives

    In this lesson, you will...

    ● Examine how colour can be described as a mixture of red, green, and blue light
    (RGB colour)
    ● Calculate the representation size of images
    Activity 1

    Colour mixing

    Painters mix paint of different colours, in


    different quantities, to produce new
    colours.

    You probably all know which colours of


    paint to mix in order to produce green,
    purple, or orange.

    What colour do you get when you mix all


    your paints together?
    Activity 1

    An experiment with colour

    Digital painters mix light of different


    colours, in different intensities, to produce
    new colours.

    Let’s experiment with mixing red, green,


    and blue light, in order to produce yellow,
    purple, or orange.

    What colour do you get when you mix red,


    green, and blue together?
    Activity 1

    An experiment with colour: reflection

    Colours can be described as a mix of red,


    green, and blue light, in appropriate
    quantities.

    To specify these quantities as numbers, we


    use sequences of bits.
    Activity 2

    RGB colour

    In practice, colour is commonly


    represented using 24 bits.

    The quantity of red, green, and blue in the


    mix is specified using 8 bits for each of
    these elementary colours.
    red green blue
    01010111 10100101 11101011

    87 165 235
    Activity 2

    RGB colour

    A common value for colour depth in


    bitmap images is 24 bits per pixel.

    The quantity of red, green, and blue for


    each pixel is specified using 8 bits for each
    of these elementary colours.
    red green blue
    11111111 10111011 01100100

    255 187 100


    Activity 2

    How much of each colour can there be?

    Minimum value of red, green, or blue (with 8 bits for each):


    00000000 0

    Maximum value of red, green, or blue (with 8 bits for each):


    11111111 255 ⚠

    Number of possible values of red, green, or blue:


    256 (from 0 to 255)

    Total number of possible colours:


    256 ⨉ 256 ⨉ 256 = 16,777,216
    Activity 2

    Pick and mix colours

    You will follow the instructions on the


    A2 Worksheet – Pick and mix colours to
    :-

    • Use a colour mixer to set the values for red,


    green, and blue and mix your own colours.
    • Play the Colour Match game to see the
    binary values for different colours
    Activity 2

    Activity 3

    Representation size

    How many bits are required to represent


    an image?

    resolution (rows ⨉ columns)


    how many pixels are in the image
    ⨉
    colour depth
    how many bits represent the colour of
    each pixel
    Activity 3

    Representation size

    Follow the instructions on A3 Worksheet – Representation size to :


    • Compute the representation size of images, given their resolution and colour depth.
    Homework

    Homework

    Work out the colours of flags from their RGB values.


    Compute the representation size of an image.
    Summary

    In this lesson, you... Next lesson, you will...

    Examined how colour can be described as Use image editing software to manipulate
    a mixture of red, green, and blue light digital images
    (RGB colour)
    Discuss whether or not manipulating
    Calculated the representation size of images is ‘easy’, and how the answer to
    images that question affects us
