Materiality of Colour
Antoni Malinowski

First Year - Autumn 2011

36 Bedford Square-
Rear Second Presentation
Tuesdays 2-5pm

 

This course focuses on the potential of subtractive colour in creating/manipulating space. Students are encouraged to create their own distinctive notational system that is sensitive to space, time, light and the characteristics of materials. Students will be introduced to the sensibility and materiality of pure pigments with the focus on colour as matter, teaching how to make paint from pigments and to apply it and test it on different surfaces. In a series of workshops students will develop a sensitivity to the use of colour and tone in relation to the dynamics of space and light.
