Colour Workshop
Who should attend
Aimed at artists, architects, designers and anyone who has an interest in using colour in their work.
Course Detail
The aim of each study session is to develop an eye for colour through observation and articulation, and a deeper understanding of its role as a visual tool. The workshop is, therefore, not about theory but increasing perception and visual sensitivity. Concentrating on the perceptual colour work of Joseph Albers, we will encourage you to experiment and deepen your understanding through studies and exercises. You’ll look at interaction, visual mixtures and how colour can create the impression of light. “In an age in which increased human sensibility has become such an obvious need in all areas of human involvement, colour sensitivity and awareness can constitute a major weapon against forces of insensitivity and brutalisation.” Joseph Albers.
Course Outcomes
You will leave the course with your awareness and perception of colour intensified, and with a greater understanding of its application. You’ll then be able to apply this knowledge to your own practice.
