    Description
    In the visual arts, color theory is the body of practical guidance for color mixing and the visual effects of a specific color combination. As an element of visual expression, color is both physical and psychological. This course will explore the principles, theories, and applications of additive and subtractive color in two dimensions. Topics will include major historical and contemporary color systems, production of projects in applied color, and the elements of design as they apply to the optical perception of color. (CSU/UC)
