Power of Color Series: Part 2 -Basic Color Illusions taught by Jinjer Markley(Multi-Session)
June 3, 2025 @ 3:00 pm – 5:00 pm
Multi-Session Class
Meets on 2 Tuesdays, June 3+10 from 3-5pmIN PERSON
The instant you put two or more colors together, they interact: Sometimes boring colors enhance each other, while other, perfectly lovely colors look terrible together. Some colors seem to totally change once you add them to a painting or design. In the ‘60s, Josef Albers created a set of exercises designed to help you understand how this interaction of color works…if you could understand Josef Albers, that is! His instructions often make the exercises more confusing than illuminating.
In this book club/ workshop, we follow Horstman’s easy-to-understand instructions to do classic Albers experiments. Instructor Jinjer Markley will help you put each experiment into the context of Color Theory, and guide students to interpret our discoveries in ways that are applicable to our own creative practices.
Part 2 – Basic Color Illusions: Play with color to fool the eye. If you are joining this series for the first time, it is recommended that you attempt the exercises on pages 8 and 29-35, and to familiarize yourself with the definitions on page 122 before the first class.
This is part 2 of a 4 part series that unpacks the whole book. The next sessions will be in summer and fall.
Save The Date!
While it is not necessary to register for all sessions, you may find that you want to sign up for multiple sessions, so please note the following dates:
Materials:
A sketchbook: I like Fabricano ecoqua size A5
A pen or pencil for taking notes.
All other supplies are included, but the more colors we have, the better, so if you have a collection of colored paper, paint chips, old Pantone sets, etc, that you’re willing to share, please bring it!
Classes have a limited space available and some fill quickly. Decisions about whether to cancel a class or add another session are typically made one week prior to the start of a class. If a class you are interested in is full we will have a waiting list and will contact you if a space opens up. If a class is cancelled due to low enrollment (fewer than 4 registrations) all registrations will be promptly refunded.
