Understanding Value to Enhance Color

Two Day Workshop

Class Description:

Understanding value is the beginning to understanding color. We will be doing exercises that are designed to get you to look at value instead of color so you can learn to differentiate between the two. We will be working with Prismacolor pencils and construction papers to learn to break down color into only high, medium and low values. The lessons will also touch on composition and design.
