Color Studies

"Introduces students of all the visual arts to color theory, the physiology and psychology of color perception, and the physics of color. Four dimensions of color - hue, value, intensity, and temperature - are discussed in detail. Based on the author's many years of teaching the subject to students from all the major concentrations of the visual arts, the text presents concepts in a logical order, with each chapter building on the previous one. The text also offers tips for putting this knowledge into practice in a variety of media, from painting and other fine arts to interior design, architecture, fashion design, ceramics, textile design, and needlework. Exercises invite students to experiment with color by creating compositions that follow established principles of design. Examples of works by the author's own students enhance readers' understanding, as do diagrams that include color wheels illustrative of different theories. The text is also richly illustrated with full-color reproductions of masterpieces from the fine and decorative arts."--Back cover.
