Colour Exercises
Our hands-on, experiential exercises introduce fundamental concepts for exploring colour in the 21st century. We don’t start with mixing paints! Instead, seeing and describing colours, recognizing how light and context impact how we perceive colours, and embracing colour as an essential part of our daily lives become the fundamental starting points. See our FAQ page for a discussion of our motivation and methodology (and note that we save mixing for the last set of exercises!!).
