Color Research
Objective
In his book “Color: A Workshop Approach”, David Hornung writes:
Under the influence of routine, we tend to fall into certain color habits. Our choices can grow stale and predictable if they are not nourished by contact with outside sources. Artists have often looked beyond the bounds of their own work for visual stimulation. For example, Henri Matisse made a lifelong study of color in the decorative arts of Eastern cultures. Vincent van Gogh spent evenings by the fire arranging bits of colored yarn on a gray piece of cardboard. Paul Klee collected and absorbed the paintings of children.
Find an image or object that has a color palette you are drawn to, and bring it to class.
If the image/object has a clearly identifiable number of colors, make sure that the number isn’t less than 8.
