Introduction to Color & Design - Patti Adams

In this six-week class, we will explore the fundamental principles of color theory - the science and art of using color. You will make your own color wheel, explore color values and better understand primary, secondary and tertiary colors through a series of in-class exercises and homework assignments. I will be doing demonstrations using a variety of mediums but the main medium we will use is gouache. A supply kit can be purchased online before check out.

Supplies: A kit containing gouache paints, pencil, eraser, brush and a Bristol pad will be available for purchase when you arrive for your first class (Cost approx. $100).

In addition to the kit please bring the following:

• scissors
• ruler
• glass or plastic containers for rinsing your brush, e.g., glass jar or plastic cup
• white plastic or ceramic dinner plate to use as a palette; gouache can stain, so bring an old one
• paper towels
• notebook and pen
• drafting or masking tape
• other small brushes; you will be advised on what you need during the first class
