Painting: Acrylic Color Theory 2

About this event

This 4-week Creative Class will explore how complex color relationships can be utilized as a meaningful communicative and emotional tool. Building on foundational color theory concepts, the class will focus on how color can be developed as a tool to communicate powerful personal or cultural information and other ideas in one’s paintings. Students will build a working knowledge of color theory and apply a deeper understanding of color to a small series of works built over the course of the class. Ticket required, discount for members, Museum Friends, CultureHaus, and students.
