Color is the most variable component in art, and how an artist uses color can change the content and message an artwork articulates. In this workshop we will begin the first steps towards mastering the use of color.  Students will learn basic concepts of what color is, how it can be used and how we see it in our everyday lives and especially in art.  This class approaches color in an intuitive and hands on way.  We will mix color and paint on paper, canvas and use collage to understand the use of color and how it interacts.
