Throughout history, color has been invested with personal, religious, social, and political meaning. From ancient Chinese textiles designating rank to Kandinsky's explorations of theosophy, color has played an essential role in the expression of intangible qualities. This course examines the relationship of humans to the spectrum. We will investigate theories of color from ancient to modern, and mediums from natural dyes to CMYK. Through readings and journaling assignments, students will examine their own relationship toward color, contextualizing it in relation to historical models and contemporary theory. Based on these investigations, each student will create a final book project. Requirements include weekly reading, writing, and research assignments, and one substantial final project. Open to majors and non-majors. Preference will be given to advanced students with a demonstrated ability to work on challenging, self directed creative projects. Students should enroll in this class expecting to complete all required work to earn 4 units. Instructor approval required to finalize enrollment. Note(s): This class is limited to 16 students. Optional Texts: Gass, William H. On Being Blue: A Philosophical Inquiry David Godine Publisher Instructor(s): Tatiana Ginsberg Time(s): Wednesday, 9:30am-12:30 pm Place(s): Arts Bldg., Rm. 2235 << Back |
