Color Theory and Application

About this course:

This course covers the study of the perception of color, its permutations, and its dimensions using traditional as well as contemporary methods with an emphasis on individual experimentation through lab exercises and demonstrations. Topics include the color wheel; Munsell and Albers theories; perception, symbolism and psychology; pattern-painting techniques; and the applications of color theories to art, architecture and interior design. Student projects and lectures combine intense exploration of theories with hands-on experience in a variety of media.
