PAINTING 516A COLOR SPACE

PAINTING/PRINTMAKING Art 516a, Color Space

The term color space refers to a range of color mapped by a system, such as RGB or CMYK. But, long before these models were used to describe color on screen or paper, artists were utilizing systems to organize color in their work. Hue, value, saturation, and surface are all relative components artists use to structure color in specific ways. In this course we will explore the space of color, from its visual and psychological qualities to its relationship to language and culture. Through assignments and critiques, students will experiment with different approaches to using color in their own work. Readings and presentations will examine principals of color interaction, as well as color’s expressive and symbolic potential. Open to students working in all media. Meets bi-weekly for 1.5 credits.
