Color Theory

This course provides introduction to the fundamentals of color theory. The core philosophy of this class is based upon the Bauhaus tradition that is combined with a 21 century twist. This course begins with various basic exercises that address the technical workings of relational color families, value, hue and intensity. This core knowledge and understanding of color interaction will then be built upon to create a competent, yet highly individualized palette. The primary medium will be acrylic paint that will be mixed extensively and then collaged. Images from art history are often included to provide example and inspiration.
