The Color Coursebook

THE COLOR COURSEBOOK offers a comprehensive manual for the study of color in art and design. In some 35,000 words it reviews all the most relevant information needed by visual artists and designers, including relationships between light sources, surfaces, and vision, color measurement and mixing, and the functional, illusory, and symbolic aspects of color. In this TEACHING EDITION of COLOR INFLUENCING FORM, the theoretical text is supplemented by a 15,000-word appendix of 15 practical assignments, offering a complete COLOR COURSE for teaching in universities, colleges, and schools. As a whole, the book explores color creatively in relation to the perception of form, including figure-ground division, contour, texture, light and shade, opacity and transparency, and perspective of color, detail, and shape.
