“Seasons of Color: Mood & Expression in an Accordion Booklet”
The chief aim of color should be to serve expression as well as possible’ Henri Matisse. In this class we will explore our own expressions of color for the seasons and moods. We will make a simple folded accordion booklet and then ‘color’ on the pages what we think about colors and its effects.
This class is offered by Vibrant West Orange in partnership with the Winter Garden Art Association, made possible, in part, through a generous grant from Duke Energy.
