Color and Inner Light: working with color in architecture, placemaking and design

We are happy to announce a new course at Building Beauty for Spring term.

Color and Inner Light: working with color in architecture, placemaking and design starts on February 1, 2023 at 16:00 UTC. The instructor is Robert Walsh. The course fee is 430 Euros.

This is a hands-on course in which students are expected to complete weekly assignments using actual paint on paper or other similar surfaces (no digital manipulation is permitted), as we explore a select variety of color principles intended to expand our understanding of color and how it can further enhance two and three-dimensional work. These exercises, and the occasional reading assignment, will become the basis of online round table discussions, in which each student will be expected to participate. In the discussions we explore the lessons learned, the struggles and insights experienced while completing these assignments, and the questions that emerge as we grapple directly with this fascinating dimension of placemaking.

The term inner light is meant to evoke the philosophical aspect of color work. The possibility that getting better at working with color is both guided by and capable of informing how we see the world. The class will draw from multiple sources and students of all levels of experience are welcome to participate.
