Introduction
This course is ideal for visual artists in product design, graphic design, animation, film making, and photography. It will introduce students to the Munsell Color Space, a system that categorizes colors based on value, hue and chroma. The course will explore the asymmetry of color space through practical examples and exercises, highlighting the practical applications and limitations of the symmetrical color wheel. By understanding the Munsell Color Space, students will be able to appreciate the working range of each color and apply it effectively in their work. Whether designing and applying color in product design, graphic design, animation, film making or photography, this course will benefit visual artists who work with color.At the end of the course, participants will be able to:
- Design a digital vector painting or collage using 3 colours with different tonal ranges,
- Analyse master artworks and recreate them into vector graphics.
- Create a digital painting, digital collage or digital 2D design using the Friend-Enemy Color Model as a guideline
The course aims to introduce the fundamental understanding of the asymmetrical Munsell Color Space which is a well-adopted industrial color reference model. It bridges students’ learning of color theory with industrial requirements whilst clearing
the misconception of the popular symmetrical Itten Color Wheel. At the end of the course, students will be able to appreciate and apply colors according to the practical range of each selected hue rather than pairing complementary colors without knowing
the practical differences of different color pairings. Exploring the connections between more neutral colors, namely the browns and grays with their parent chromatic hues, students will be able to apply colors or design color schemes with more confidence.
This programme is suitable for participants working/ intending to work in the product design, graphic design, animation, film making and photographic industries or are involved in visual decision of colour applications. Prior experience/ knowledge in colour application will be an advantage.
