Color Ways taught by Monica Fogg
April 15, 2023 @ 2:00 pm – 4:30 pm
Multi-Session Class
Meets 2 Saturdays, April 15+22 from 2-4:30 pm CT via ZoomVIRTUAL CLASS
Discover Color Strategies. Let Color Chords spark and build crescendo in composition.
In the same way that music chords present identifiable relationships and attitudes, Color Chords influence visual creations. In this two-part class, we will reference a color wheel to identify basic chord harmonies. Experiment with complementary, analogous, warm, and cool chords, and strategies that include such things as frequency and proximity. Simple exercises provide experiential learning. Pretty sure fun is involved, too.
All color media welcome. All experience levels welcome.

“My personal work is informed and inspired by forms found in nature. I consider and experience the foundations of the earth as symbolic of the ‘grounding’ of spirit. Representation is distilled to form, movement, essence. The process is a dance between concept and emotion.”
