Color Theory

An exploration of both Munsell and Albers color theory systems, with an emphasis on the ways in which the elements of color interact in compositions. The focus of the course is developing a disciplined approach to the use of color, and gaining experience in the mixing and application of colors using acrylic paints. Students will examine the ways in which the properties of color affect the elements of design, specifically the illusion of space and light, and also the ways in which we receive and process color information.
