Playing with Color: Exploring How Vision Shapes Our Perception of Art

Join us for an art-making exploration of some ways our perception of color influences how we make and appreciate art. Using color-focused art projects, we will learn about our own color vision and how our brains process visual information. Along the way, we’ll play with contrasting and equiluminant colors, ultimately coming to better understand how our brains shape our perceptions as artists and art lovers.

Taught by teaching artist and science writer, Rachel Mirus. Students will need paper and a colored media of their choice, like color pencils, brush pens, or pastels. Some extra materials will be available.

Open to Adults and Teens.
