Class Synopsis
 If you love color, but the color wheel has always intimidated you; or if you want to know more about how to work with color, but the word “theory” overwhelms you, this is the workshop for you.
In this interactive, dynamic course you’ll get to know the color wheel and use it for spectacular color combinations. Harmonious color relationships are crucial to any endeavor requiring color. If colors don’t coordinate, the effect is confusing, chaotic, or monotonous and boring. Unfortunately we often use color timidly out of fear of unchartered territory. You’ll learn the basic combinations based on geometrics then delve further into more complex harmonies.
 You’ll gain new confidence in creating powerful, effective color combinations with all the hues, tints and shades available.
Color wheels will be provided. Please bring any you may already have, as all wheels are slightly different.

- Cost: $100 per participant includes interactive instruction & critique, workbooks. Includes interactive instruction & critique, workbooks, and color wheel.

 Color affects our emotions, our behavior, and our life. We sense it, feel it, absorb it, and are profoundly affected by it. And its impact doesn’t end when we close our eyes.
This lively, interactive course conveys the emotional magic of color through examples, experience, and hands-on practice and exercises. You’ll learn the psychological effects of color and how to create a mood, communicate an idea, or elicit a reaction with color. You’ll understand the emotional impact  of color, and how to guide yourself and your clients to identify and choose colors that resonate with them. And you’ll understand yourself more as you discover your personal color voice.
