DFN-120 DESIGN COLOR AND CONTEXT

The study of Color Theory attempts to understand and predict human response to the sensation of individual colors, color combinations and usages in terms of optics and the contexts in which colors occur. In this course students are introduced to color theory through systems that have been developed throughout history as a means of understanding the perceptual impact of color interaction. Studio projects will engage the study of color pigments, from natural to synthetic sources, color as both material and phenomena in the natural world and the context of color in a variety of differentiating media and printing processes. The question of how color functions will also be explored through a variety of cultural and psychological perspectives that inform both symbolic and linguistic properties of color.
