Color Education for the 21st Century
Smashing Color + Colour Literacy
For the past four years I have worked with the international Color Literacy Project team to develop up-to-date resources and materials for teachers to explore 21st century color with their students.
I am very excited to offer workshops this summer that include beta-tests exercises and activities from the Color Lit Project.
Color education is changing in schools around the world, and you can be a part of this transformation just as it’s gathering momentum!
Classes take place at the VIA Artistica Studio located at Taborspace in SE Portland, Oregon. The studio is located on the second floor and, unfortunately, is not ADA-accessible.
CREMA, the coffee shop at Taborspace, has a fabulous selection of pastries and drinks. Yum!
Color in Three Dimensions
Visualize color relationships by switching from a 2D color wheel to a 3D color model! Smashing Color Workshops and Open Studios are based on years of teaching students to see and describe color attributes in a variety of color order systems.
Expanding from 2D to 3D takes your understanding of color to a whole new level.
Hands-On Interactive Exercises
The more you experiment, the more you learn. In addition to the Smashing Color projects and activities, workshops include beta-test exercises from the international Color Literacy Project curriculum.
Sharing your color exercises with fellow color explorers takes you further than you can go alone and makes learning fun!
Color and Light
With the increasing use of computers, LEDs and digital technologies, it's time to connect the light based and pigment based color systems into one integrated 21st century color system.
With some simple instruction and a bit of practice, it's easy to learn how to use color effectively in both digital and traditional media.
Guided Color Exploration
Maggie Maggio is a designer, artist and art educator who has studied and worked with color for over forty years.
Maggie’s personal explorations into the science of light and pigments led to the creation of workshops for artists and designers to incorporate the latest research in color science into their creative practice.
