Visual Studies:
01 - Color Relativity
Pick one piece of color paper; cut out two squares (approx. 1/3 “ x 1/3”).
Experiment by placing the small squares one on each of two sheets of different pieces of color paper.
Observe the small squares, do they still look the same, similar, or different?
The goal is to get the two squares to look as different as possible by placement on different grounds. Note: it is easy to change value; harder to change hue or intensity.

Josef Albers, Interaction of Color (this text will be the focus of Class Discussion B) The above visual study is heavily influenced from the text below. “Color is the most relative medium in art.” What surrounds a color, its environment, affects how we see that color. A violet is more blue when next to a saturated red.
