Expanding your knowledge of colour and learning how to sensitively use colour as an artistic medium of communicationColour is sensitive and playful, colour comprises old wisdom and is always new. Colour has an order and not only one. Colour is subjective and emotional but also serves as an objective and cultural language. Colour affects physics, psychology, medicine, biology, philosophy and of course art and design. The basic design principles like balance, contrast, dominance, proportion etc. are all also related to colour design. The workshop focuses on the expansion of your knowledge of colour and the development of a sensitive use of color as an artistic communication tool. One main theme are the colour theories of the Bauhaus masters Itten, Kandinsky and Albers in practical exercises. The experimental works of the Bauhaus stage provide inspiration for interactive, colour based digital work, connected with movement and sound.The content of the course are colour theories with focus on Weimar (Goethe, Bauhaus), practical colour exercises about classification, combination and effect, psychological and cultural aspects of colour. An interactive computerbased colour work is one focus in the second week. We work mostly abstract and analytic with coloured papers, paint and computer. (The workshop is not based on free artistic painting.)
