“If one says ‘Red’ (the name of a color) and there are 50 people listening, it can be expected that there will be 50 reds in their minds. And one can be sure that all these reds will be very different." — Josef Albers, Interaction of Color (page 3)
Description:
Color is one of the most powerful elements of design. Colors can captivate the senses, tap into memories, and evoke myriad emotions. In this class we will explore both color relativity and its application in contemporary drawing and painting. With Albers’ beloved text as our guide, we will hone our visual acuity and develop a playful, personal approach to color.
This class will cover the following topics:
- Developing a sensitivity for seeing color
- Exploring color relativity through cut-paper exercises
- Applying specific color interactions to personal work
- Incorporating strategies for serious play into your studio practice
