Course Description

Build confidence seeing and using colour in your creative practice.  On this painting course, you will learn to make visual judgements about a colour and identify colour characteristics, develop an understanding of colour relationships and behaviour, and develop an understanding of colour phenomena. 

Through demonstrations, group discussion and class projects, you will learn how to select and organise different types of palettes, how to ‘key’ a palette, and how to use colour relationships to heighten mood and create expression in your own work.  Drawing upon the resources of the Slade, we will examine colour through Josef Albers’ prints and the Material Research Project in Graduate Painting.  This course can be taken on its own or as a complement to the course on neuroscience and painting.
