How Color Works: Color Theory in the Twenty-First Century

Richly illustrated and interactive in its approach, How Color Works: Color Theory in the Twenty-First Century explores the contemporary aesthetics of color. Color and its many meanings are presented in culturally specific terms, encouraging students to appreciate the power that color holds over different societies. The text demonstrates that interest in color is alive and well--even in surprising corners of artistic production--and shows students of all media and all experience levels how to create and use color in a sophisticated fashion.
