This 6-week creative journey draws inspiration from the pioneering colour studies of Josef Albers, guiding participants through a hands-on exploration of how we perceive, combine, and respond to colour.

Through a series of engaging activities, we will investigate how colours interact, shift and transform depending on their context. Just as Albers encouraged, we will move beyond theory into direct experience, training the eye and mind to notice subtle variations, illusions and harmonies that often go unseen.

What to Expect

Over the course of six weeks, you will:

Discover the relativity of colour — how perception changes with surrounding hues.
Experiment with colour interactions using collage
Explore optical illusions and the emotional resonance of colour
Create personal colour studies inspired by Albers’ Interaction of Color exercises.
Collaborate in group exercises to compare and refine perception.
