To study color in art and design is to swim in a stream of overlapping currents. When we see color in the work of others and use color in our own work, these currents combine to form the sensations we feel. The forces that create these currents are well-known and universal. They were taught at the Bauhaus, and are now integral parts of foundation courses at art and design schools around the world. We know them as the seven color contrasts. In this course, we will explore and experiment with each of the color contrasts, through personal observations of recent and historical examples of art and design, and in assignments that demonstrate how and why each form of color contrast works. The goal is to provide you with a tool kit of universal color principles you can employ in your personal and professional life.
