Color
Junior requirement for majors – 3 credits
Fall 2008
A series of experiences devoted to the development of the perception of color and its use as a tool for the graphic designer. The exercises test the appearance of color relationships in complex structures, dealing with meaning and examining the appropriate use of color in the context of design problems. We use gouache paint first and will match each color on the computer.
