You'll learn the foundational principles that professional designers and artists use every day: how to navigate the color wheel, create harmonious color schemes, and understand why colors behave differently depending on their context. We'll explore both the science of how humans perceive color and the psychology of how different hues influence emotions and decisions.

Whether you're interested in graphic design, painting, interior decorating, branding, or simply want to develop a more sophisticated eye for color, this class will give you practical tools to make confident, intentional color choices. No prior art or design experience required—just bring your curiosity and prepare to see the world of color in a whole new light.
