Learning About Color
Slated to be rewritten.
As a youth, I studied color. It wasn't a guided study, it was merely a hands-on painting after painting after painting experiment that spanned years. I did not master it, but the effort still benefits me when I have to choose colors for wall paint, for things in our home, and for assorted hobbies, such as quilting.
Having a sense for color will benefit any person that is headed for a career that involves color choices such as interior decorating, landscaping, commercial art, web site design (to name a few), and the many fields that are considered art. Learning about art not only involves mixing and combining colors, but also the psychology of color. The next time you are at the grocery store, pay attention to the colors that are used on packaging. What colors are used the most? Which colors appeal to you?
