Color projects


The samples shown in this section were made by students with different nationalities and a mixture of cultural backgrounds. The objective of the projects was to realize the power of color as a design element. The subject is both fascinating and difficult; it makes students interested in Psychology, Neuroscience and Physics, but it becomes more challenging as it becomes evident that, although everybody has a certain color sense, there are objective color properties to learn and that color reproduction in different media is a challenging--yet absolutely necessary--task.

In the end, color class is more about light and lightning conditions than about color, and more about context and contrast than about picking between orange or blue.

Mixing colors with brushes and paint seem old-fashioned to some people, yet I find it the best way to acquire acute color sensitivity. Further on, the students are able to reproduce colors by digital means and test other color production methods.
