WED AM - Color Mixing & Josef Albers with Kristen Guest

New format! In this 5-week class, take a deep dive into color mixing and explore Josef Albers' contributions.

"If one says 'red'—the name of a color—and there are fifty people listening, it can be expected that there will be fifty reds in their minds. And one can be sure that all these reds will be very different."
– Josef Albers

In this class, instructor Kristen Guest will help guide you into the world of color and break things down into simple concepts. We will be creating color studies each week as we apply Josef Albers' timelss color methods that artists still use today!
