4699 - Dimensional Color: Introduction to Color for Interior Design

Course Description

Color is an integral component in the formulation and transformation of space. In this course, students explore the relationship between color and form, and learn to apply theoretical color tenets to interior spaces. Color competency is enhanced by studying color properties, schemes and relationships within a three-dimensional context, with emphasis placed on value, extent and progression through space. Students gain an understanding of color interaction within a design context, and learn to answer such questions as what color palette is most suitable and best supports the function of a space. Color is studied in terms of the physical design, the materials utilized, and natural and artificial light. Lighting topics include bulb color and intensity, fixture placement and quality. Psychological and behavioral responses of the viewer/participant -- both within the space and as one progresses from one space to another -- are also considered. Note: This course satisfies the Applied Color for Interior Design requirement for certificate students.
