In this class, participants will learn the ideas of artists like Georges Seurat and Roy Lichtenstein on how pure primary colours mix to form new colours just by placing them next to each other. Elements of colour theory such as how colours attract or repel your eye will also be explored by creating experimental abstract artworks to test out these intricate theories.
