Synopsis "The Color Coursebook: For art Teachers and Students"
THE COLOR COURSEBOOK offers a complete manual for the study of color in art and design. In 35,000 words it reviews the most relevant information needed by artists and designers, including relationships between light sources, surfaces, and vision, color measurement and mixing, and the functional, illusory, and symbolic aspects of color. In this teaching edition of COLOR INFLUENCING FORM, the theoretical text is supplemented by a further 15,000-word series of practical assignments, offering a complete color module for teaching in universities, colleges, and schools. As a whole, the book creatively explores the interaction of color and form, to include figure-ground division, contour, texture, light and shade, opacity and transparency, and perspective of color, detail, and shape.
