This course, which is technical in nature, gives the student control over recognizing and creating color in pigment. Color identity is explored through the attributes of hue, value and chroma using the Munsell system as a three dimensional grid. Students learn to recognize the relative temperature qualities of color and to use warms and cools of the pigment primaries to reproduce a gamut of desired colors. Past and present color theories and technologies (from dyes to electronics) are discussed, creating an awareness of their influence on styles, trends, and cultural significance. The physical properties of color are examined (with an emphasis on the importance of light source and human perception) through an exploration of the additive mixture of colors via light compared to the subtractive mixture of colors via pigments. Discussion relates these subjects with issues pertinent to current electronic technology as well as color relationships and the use of color in both the art and design fields. Topics covered include: color as an element of design, creating illusions of depth and transparency, the reflective surface, observing and recording reflected color, and the influence of color proximity on our visual perceptions. Studies are mainly executed in a hard edge manner with acrylic medium in addition to some colored pencil and watercolor. Satisfies: First-Year Requirement
