This course will cover colour theory and practice. 

(Colour theory is the collection of rules and guidelines which artist's designers use to communicate with users/viewers through appealing color schemes in visual interfaces.) 

In the visual arts, colour theory is the body of practical guidance for color mixing and the visual effects of a specific color combination. Colour terminology based on the color wheel and its geometry separates colors into primary color, secondary color, and tertiary colour.

Assessment is in 2 parts -

1. The Visual diary 

In your visual diary research Artists, styles, ideas to underpin or support your main ARTWORK.

A visual diary is an essential tool for recording your creative research. You should use it for idea development, material and process investigations, idea and material extensions and, artist and other research. It is a place in which you can brainstorm ideas, attempt quick sketches, try different processes, document material tests and experiments, attach exhibition invites, magazine or newspaper clippings, jot down extracts from books or quotes you like, insert postcards and images, plan ideas for future artworks and so on. Essentially, anything that you source which may be relevant to your current or future work should go into the visual diary. It is the place to record your thinking and doing.

The visual diary should not be completed the night before an assessment is due. Nor is it the place to simply paste copies of the work you are presenting for assessment.

In each assessment task you will be asked to complete exercises that may require preparatory work and ‘outcomes’. An ‘outcome’ can be a final completed piece, a work-in-progress or a starting point for future development. It is the preparatory work which should be included in the visual diary.
