The Taming of the Hues: A Color Play
Course 🟣 30 Lessons
Are you struggling to find the perfect cast of colors for your next quilt?
Does all the talk of color schemes just confuse you?
Never fear, Lyric is here to make color theory easy to understand.
In this playful and entertaining course, Lyric takes you on a tour through color theory, explaining each scheme with entertaining and easy-to-remember metaphors. Using hands-on, easy exercises, she helps you understand how colors relate to each other and how they function alone or together, because
color is ALL about relationships!
Which actors behave like friends when they are in a group?
Can one single color give an interesting monologue alone onstage?
Who is the Diva, and who is the Sidekick when opposites attract?
Drama, drama, drama. There is always drama with a trio onstage.
It's ALL About Relationships!
The element of COLOR is all about relationships. No matter how true to yourself you try to be, you behave differently in a crowd full of strangers than you do with your two best friends. It's all about how you feel around those people.
Color strikes your emotions first, bypassing your rational side. Colors effect how you feel! Consider for a moment the emotional way we use color in our language. We see red, feel blue, are green with envy, have a bit of a yellow streak, or are in a black mood.
Colors play on your emotions just like players on the stage. An actor can make us laugh in one scene and cry in the next without ever changing costume.
A New Tool for your
Artist's Kit!
• No new unfinished projects, just a new
understanding of how color relationships that you
can use in your next work!
• No supply list, use what you have around the
house.
• Use any media you like! Paint, textiles, crayons!
As long as it's colorful, it works!
• Learn to use color intentionally; you already use it
intuitively!
Name that Color Scheme!
Learn the basic vocabulary of color theory so that you can better articulate and understand WHY you love the colors you do. Expand your palette as you begin to see how and why different colors just don't look the same, depending on their relationships to the colors around them.
How This Course Works
This is an online on-demand workshop. You will read all lessons online and post your work for feedback in each
lesson.
You can share your pictures and also get feedback from your classmates. The more you contribute, the livelier class will be. Lyric will pop in to give feedback on each picture posted. This platform provides a safe space for a lively and sharing creative community to explore without judgement and competition.
Just like in a live classroom, you'll be able to see your fellow students' work and discuss how things are going. You'll get encouragement and instruction from Lyric on all the work you post.
Supplies consist of things you already have at hand, so you won't be time or money shopping for things you might not use again. The most important supply
is an adventurous willingness to explore, grow, and play as you learn to see and create within the framework of abstract design. Doodles will be scribbled,
eyes and minds will be opened, and fun will be had. Won't you join us?
