Students will be introduced to the theory and practice of color through observation, experimentation, readings, screenings, discussion, and creative projects. They will develop a working color vocabulary considering sensory experience, the psychology of color, personal preference, as well as historical and symbolic meanings of color. Students will also gain a basic and practical understanding of mixing color through traditional and non-traditional materials. This class is experiential and open ended, an attempt to arrive at an understanding of color as an evolving scientific, philosophical, and cultural phenomenon.
