OPtical Influences

THis Guy > D briggs,
Taught me everything I know about colour theories. Its probably the beginning of my opsession. I took his class and it inspired me to look at colours objectively and really seek to play with them, and consider the materials as a means to a colourful end. I really enjoyed his class, even though it was only an introduction into objectively looking at colour- but the field is huge and thats all a little brain can handle in twelve weeks...

Most memorable was the lesson on fluro, glow and reflective nature of different materials to communicate colours. If the image below doesn't work it is a diagram of terms in colour theory found here:  http://addblog.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/Color-Theory.jpg

NAnother Mind blowing lecture was the one that demonstrated the Op art effects of colour illusions and juxtapositions:

there is SO much cool out there, perceptions of color change depending on their surroundings, I will have to keep this in mind this week when deciding what to choose as Glaze colours!
