Lets Play with Colour!

Colour - what a tricky thing!  Some seem to have a knack for it, and others struggle.  So lets play and learn a little more about how color interacts with it, and make a fun block.

This months block is inspored by the father of colour study Joseph Albers. 

"Every perception of color is an illusion, we do not see colors as they really are. In our perception they alter one another." ~ Josef Albers

  • Colors are in a continuous state of flux and can only be understood in relation to the other colors that surround them. Albers makes the provocative statement in the book that ‘colour is the most relative medium in art.’
  • How people see color is highly subjective and varies dramatically between individuals;
  • An artist or designer exploring color in their practice is much more important than studying color theory by itself
