Through a process of trial and error, students will learn specifically the power of color, seeing color action as well as feeling color relatedness. Students will develop a general understanding of color by observation and articulation. Through knowledge, awareness and practice we will eliminatesubjective color thought. A sensitive eye for color is our primary concern.
Projects, lectures and the observation of color theory as it relates to design will be presented to develop the student’s eye for color in various spaces. The development of a personal and practical sense of color will be a primary goal. Classroom studies, experiments, and critiques will be used to develop an awareness of the subtle nature of color.
