This workbook presents a diverse conceptual overview of color theory coupled with numerous studies and activities to solidify students’ understanding of design and color concepts through hands-on experience. This workbook combines both a formal and content-oriented approach to color with students, allowing them to use it both technically and as an expressive tool. As a practicing artist and an art educator, Becky Koenig has possessed a lifelong desire to master color. She created this text to present a wide range of many color theories, rather than a singular viewpoint. The workbook covers the expanding field of electronic color and discusses color in terms of art history and contemporary art. It includes a variety of student activities that have proved successful in the classroom.

One of the few books that explains Alber’s color theories clearly.

[Erika Mulvenna · Rating 3 out of 5]

A really practical guide for artists on understanding color. Contains a quick but precise intro on the history of Color Theory, lots of color exercises for the student taken directly from sources such as Itten and Albers, and chapters relating to computers, and directly to art. A really great book for anyone interested in exploring Color Theory more in depth through hands-on color exercises.
