Interaction of Color

Josef Albers Interaction of Color  Reading and Color Theory Class

In this 8 week class, we will work through the color experiments presented by Josef Albers in his 1963 publication “Interaction of Color”. Albers taught at the Bauhaus and Black Mountain College, headed Yale University’s department of design, and is considered one of the most influential teachers of the visual arts in the twentieth century. Students will need to have a copy of the text as well as color swatches to work with (color swatches from paint stores work best!). Experiments will be done at home and in class.
