Introduction to color will provide you with the fundamental basics to painting with color. In this course, we will explore foundational concepts using color theory and the color wheel to guide us. By the end of the course you will have a thorough and confident understanding of color relationships and key terminology - like hue, tone, shade, tint, split compliment, tetrad, and much more. Each Zoom session begins with a presentation about color and exemplary artists and color movements for us to study, including the Bauhaus school, Piet Mondrian, Mark Rothko, Helen Frankenthaler, and more. Then we will move into a demo of a color based assignment for you to complete during the week. 

We will critique one another’s work and develop a vocabulary to speak about art and color in a professional and engaging way.
