Who’s Afraid of Red, Yellow and Blue?

Description

Our response to colour is direct and emotional. The natural world is replete with it, we cover our homes in it, our TV screens and devices are a-dazzle with it and we even dress ourselves in it, but many of us don’t actually think that deeply about colour at all. For the artist, however, colour has always represented an especial challenge. In this practical, four and a half day course, we will study colour’s rich social and cultural history, its geography and its language. We will also learn how artists in previous centuries found ways to master it, explore our own personal perception of colour and most importantly, develop a meaningful relationship with its enduring mysteries. Course runs from Dinner on Sunday to Lunch on Friday. Tutor Information David Chandler's weekly art classes have been running for fifteen years and are attended by more than eighty students.
