Color and Light

This course is to provide students with a fundamental understanding of color and light, in order to understand how color behaves and to learn to use color as an organizational principle. Assignments and demonstrations will be used to explore various color theories and applications. We will focus on the themes such as: How does color interact with other colors? How does color challenge our perception? What effects does color have on the way we see? How could one be analytical to the emotion that colors evoke? What happens when we imagine color and light in black and white or vice versa? How does color transform form or space? Could color 'form' spaces? What is the potential of color and light in architecture?

Its objective is to develop careful seeing and analytical thinking in color that can be applied to all areas of the visual arts, design and architecture. Students are expected to complete appropriate assignments relating to the theories and develop their own studies on color and light.
