Reservations & TicketsColor Lab was designed for everyone interested in learning how to experiment with color in new ways. Structured to convey the basics of color theory through hands-on practice, the workshop walks through a sequence of fun, approachable exercises in paint-mixing and collage. In-between art activities, a slideshow is presented that shares information on the biology of color vision, a breakdown of the essential properties of color, and the wondrous phenomenon of color relativity, with visual examples from the early color theorists, textiles, folk-art, and work by contemporary artists.
By the end of the workshop, participants will leave with a small set of color charts and collages, and fodder for a lifetime of future experimentation.
Open to absolute beginners, practicing artists, designers, and craftspeople alike. Older teens with a serious interest in art are also welcome to register.
