Color as Material and Spatial Experience

Color does not exist in isolation. It always operates relationally through contrast, layering, and context. Understanding how it functions starts with observing interaction: how a color changes according to its surroundings and how it alters the perception of space itself.

This intensive week will focus on color as a field of action: on layers, transparencies, and transitions. We will examine how depth and spatial presence emerge through shifts in quality, temperature, and saturation, not only through differences in form or perspective. Color will be approached as a dynamic system, an organizing force, and an event in space, rather than as a flat patch.

Through exercises and focused experimentation, you will develop sensitivity to relationships between colors and to their transformative potential. The goal is not (only) to produce a “beautiful” result, but to understand how to control states of change and create them consciously.

Materials: Paper, acrylic paints, and pigments will be provided.
You are encouraged to bring colored papers, pastels, watercolor, gouache, ink, brushes, and a water container. Natural pigments can also be prepared from tea, coffee, red cabbage, turmeric, and other materials!
