This Colour Fundamentals workshop gives you foundational knowledge about colour theory and application relevant to design and the built environment, and gives you the confidence to work with colour from an informed perspective.
In this three-hour workshop, practical exercises are blended with colour theory information. Participants gain valuable insight into the ways in which colour can be used in design and the built environment.
A detailed workbook is included and this contains templates that allow you to explore and experiment with colour theory and colour application skills.
3 Formal CPD points for architects and designers.
