Color is probably the most relative medium in art. Each color has a specific property, whether it's the particular wavelength in optical perception, the molecular construction of pigments or an RGB value for a monitor. Though each of those properties may be fixed, the expression and perception of a color may change within different contexts.
Understanding color requires that you understand its systems, interaction even a bit of physics! This course deals with the abstract language of color. We'll discuss basic color principles, terminology, and applications, with an emphasis on manipulating color.
Objectives:
Students can expect to learn how to:
Create color harmonies based on geometric connections of the color wheel.
Use color value and saturation to create moods relevant to specific products or design needs.
Create "mood boards" or color studies that illustrate specific types of color combinations.
Effectively apply the various illusions created by interactions of hue, contrast, value, and saturation.
Develop color compositions in which a color appears different based on its surroundings and two colors appear the same based on their surroundings.
Identify the primary colors of light and pigment and how these colors are formed on screen and in print.
Create a digital reproduction of a painting to analyze how color presents an illusion of light in artwork.
Create a digital representation of an actual object to analyze the color values formed by light.
Outline:
LESSON 1 Thinking about color To begin to understand how to work with color, we'll explore different ways of looking at color using the color wheel. The concepts of hue, saturation and harmony will be introduced. Then, in a series of exercises, you'll apply these principles and experiment with different color relationships.
LESSON 2 Color interactivity We'll explore how colors work with each other, how colors can look different depending on the other colors around them. You'll make two compositions putting these principles into practice.
LESSON 3 Color physics Where does color come from? We'll discuss light, the source of color. In the exercises, you'll study how a great painter uses color to represent light. You'll also produce your own, original study.
