Color is visible energy. As such, its effective use is essential in practically all
aspects of art and design.
Media may include acrylic or gouache paint, Cray-Pas, pastels, colored pencils, inks,
or collage materials. This course is required for A.F.A. majors but is designed for
students of all levels and experience, including non-art majors.
There is no pre-requisite for this course although students may find it helpful to
take Drawing 1 or 2D Design before taking ARTS 1020 - Color.
Studio: 6 hours
This course presents an introduction to basic color theory and composition. Students
develop a keen understanding of color systems and harmonies and explore practical
applications of these theories through a variety of creative studio assignments.
