ART 382: Color Theory

This course will survey the physical and phenomenological aspects of color and light. In various studio art projects, this course will establish a fundamental understanding of color theory based upon its practical application. The class will begin by investigating the empirical principles of color and light then shift its focus towards color contrasts; the most essential component in the study of color theory. The class will conclude with an exploration of historical attitudes and philosophies about color and light. A visit to a New York museum may also be scheduled.
