Color is probably the most relative
medium in art. Each color has a specific property, whether it's the
particular wavelength in optical perception, the molecular
construction of pigments or an RGB value for a monitor. Though each
of those properties may be fixed, the expression and perception of a
color may change. Understanding color requires that you understand
its systems, interaction—even a bit of physics! This course
deals with the abstract language of color. We'll discuss basic color
principles, terminology, and applications, with an emphasis on
manipulating color.within different contexts.
