No prior knowledge required
Everyone is welcome. No prior knowledge is required. During the course we use colour samples in paper format – you do not need to paint or draw.
Focus
The course aims to facilitate your discovery, examination and exploration of colour combinations that resonate with you.
Approach
The course is geared towards practical exercises, mainly based on a methodology where colour samples in paper format are combined. The methodology is developed by the artist, art theorist and teacher Josef Albers. The practical exercises are complemented by briefings and overviews.
