LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Color is at the center of this module. Every artistic expression is inevitably linked to the theme via more or less conscious decisions. In addition to basic knowledge regarding the material, painterly and conceptual approaches will be discussed in order to provide students with an expanded view of this central theme.
CONTENT
The rich offer of the color space is used. Students gain an insight into the production of colors and the use of auxiliary materials. Painting as a field of experimentation with color is a focal point in this module, but other conceptual approaches to the use of color can also be discussed and implemented in practical works.
Experiencing materiality and the effects associated with it will be an important part of the module. Students will acquire the competence to justify their use of color. Through this expanded awareness, they will have a greater creative self-understanding in their personal work.
