Colors in our lives can harmonize, blend, and work together to generate warmth and openness, or alert us to pay attention. In this class for artists, crafters, and even garden designers, we'll delve into the color systems used by theorists Josef Albers and Johannes Itten to help you understand, think about, and use color relationships to achieve the look you want. The color wheel, spectrum intensity, value, and hue are just some of the concepts we will explore. You'll learn how subtle gradations and opacity affect your work, and how to collage illusions and instill beauty into your overall composition. Artists of all levels welcome. Please gather magazines, scissors, glue, exacto knife, cutting surface, and sheets of mixed media paper that you have on hand for our first class.
