No matter if you are interested in pastel, oils or acrylics or even colored pencils, color matters.

Color Theory helps create visually appealing and harmonious designs. It guides the use of colors to evoke emotion and communicate messages. Understanding concepts like the color wheel, contrasts, complementary colors, temperature and lightness and darkness of hue ensures effective design. Students will work from life as well as their imagination to sharpen their skills mixing, matching, and telling a story with their use of color.
