Color: Theory and Practice • Graydon Parrish
June 2 - 13 (10 days)

This workshop will introduce the concept of Rational Color. Many have thought color intuitive and unable to be learned. However, though analysis, testing and practice, many aspect of color can be learned and even mastered. To understand color rationally, we will use the color notation created by Albert Munsell for reference. At the beginning of the last century, Munsell created a system to describe color in simple terms, a system widely used today in other fields outside of fine art.
