AR 131 Color

This studio course will concentrate solely on color; easily the most powerful, yet neglected, aspect of an artist’s education. Through a practical exploration of theoretical and conceptual issues, students will become aware of the complex and interrelated nature of color in all of its perceptual, emotional, psychological, aesthetic, and technical aspects.

Students will complete a series of studio color projects that emphasize color as an integral part of one’s work. They will acquire a broad and intuitive awareness of color as a formal means of visual communication and storytelling. The student’s complete understanding of color will include aesthetics and, most important, its creative and technical applications.
