The New Color redefines 21st century color as a multi-sensory phenomenon relevant to Visual Literacy and communication at all levels.This course offers a multidisciplinary way to explore the dense network of color codes coursing through our lives everyday and gain practical Color Competencies for strategic real-world applications. Students will investigate the role of color through the lens of psychology, science, art, design, industry and the built environment. Components include a guest speaker series, hands-on experiments, collaborative research projects, readings, group discussions, field trips and creative color interventions. A STEAM-Powered Learning Model (Science,Technology, Engineering, Art, Math), The New Color provides an innovative solution to the critical lack of relevant color education in the United States and provides tools for dynamic color management—including the New Color Wheel, where Magenta is the New Red. This course is not just for artists, designers, and entrepreneurs, but for creative minds from all disciplines.
