Color Ways
VIRTUAL CLASS taught by Monica Fogg
Exercises in Color Chords & Color Strategies. How color alters composition.
In the same way that music chords present identifiable relationships, atmospheres, etc., Color Chords influence visual creations. In this two-part class, we will reference a color wheel to identify basic chords / harmonies. Hue relationships include such things as: Complement, Analogous, Warm, Cool, Frequency, and more. Simple exercises provide experiential learning. Pretty sure fun is involved, too.
All color media welcome. All experience levels welcome.
