David Hornung

This class is based on Hornung’s textbook, Color: A Workshop for Artists and Designers. It is designed to strengthen your color understanding and make you more confident with color in your studio practice. Under the instructor’s guidance, students make a sequence of practical studies that reveal the structure of color, its behavior in relation to other colors and useful color strategies. Class time is devoted to illustrated lectures, demonstrations, and the discussion of projects. The class meets on alternate days, so there is ample time to complete assignments. This course is an excellent choice for anyone who makes two-dimensional art.

This second installment of David Hornung’s color class is for students who have taken his first workshop and would like to go deeper. In Color 2 we explore the development of color interrelationships through a variety of mixing strategies and conduct color research into natural and manufactured sources. We also examine specific color applications like progression and the illusion of transparency and study the way color works with shape to create spatial hierarchy in a two-dimensional image. As with the previous class, meetings are on alternate days (MWF) which allows ample time to complete assignments. The materials list is identical to that of Color 1, linked below. The prerequisite for this workshop is David Hornung's class, Color: A Workshop for Artists and Designers, click here for details.
