This Exploration Workshop (2 modules) is all about color! No matter what media you choose to create with (fabric, fibers, paper, paint, metals or clay) the information featured will help you learn to successfully use color to create dynamic works of art.
At the end of the workshop, you will have learned about color theory, the interaction of colors, how to get the most from your art supplies though organization and have completed three step-by-step art projects covering various media techniques and color composition.
Program Level: Beginner and intermediate artists welcome!
