Explore the properties and possibilities of using color in all types of art. This workshop is perfect for color enthusiasts, as well as those less confident in using color.  Topics include: color optics and how our brain “sees” colors, the cultural and emotional aspects of color, demystifying mixing and matching colors, some of the scientists and artists noted for their work in color, and creating fun and practical optical color illusions in collage. The goal is for everyone to come away from this “Color Explosion” workshop with a refreshed and deeper appreciation of the properties and possibilities of using color in their art.

You must bring the materials below to the workshop. Additional materials are provided by the instructor using the $5 supply fee.  If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the instructor at efrosevalley@gmail.com.

    NOTE: If bringing a watercolor set, also bring a watercolor brush, container for water, and some paper towels.
