At Dick’s request, Valérie Richter shares words and images from a year-long exploration of luminosity.
Dick says, “Every artist for whom color is important must see and read this account, for it provides a guide and inspiration for us all. I am so very proud of Valérie’s mission and her support group, Karen, Holly, Craig and her classmates.”
Welcome Summer 2015 color explorers, to our very first session and the start of a new understanding of color interaction! The following post provides a summary of what took place in the classroom (it all seems to go by so fast!), and reinforces the key ideas we discussed in class, along with images of the presentations, videos, and links to reference material. Enjoy!
The first session of the Color Relationships class for Fall 2014 was held on Friday, October 10. Through hands-on exercises, discussion, video, presentation, and worksheets, eleven students experienced the relativity of color and received their first assignment: make one color appear as two. Read the full post for details and class materials.
In this 3-minute video, Dick differentiates the true pigment primaries from traditional dogma, and demonstrates the magical variety of colors that arise when different transparencies of yellow, magenta, and cyan are gradually overlaid.
Dick has assigned homework to prepare for the upcoming color relationships classes, 2 videos and a quiz. Everyone should familiarize themselves with the concepts and terminology in these videos.
