Is a tree really green?  Is its shadow really grey?  Is a red apple really red?  In An Eye For Color we will pay homage to color pioneer Josef Albers by working with ColorAid paper to, say, make two different colors look identical, or to make color shapes look like they vibrate and dance right off the page.  By creating surprising optical illusions, students will discover exciting moments of color so often taken for granted in the world around us and in art.  “A-ha!” will be our class motto as we learn to see in a new and exciting light. 
 
While a student at The Cooper Union School of Art, instructor Jessica Stammen loved and excelled at color theory. She went on to earn her MA at NYU before returning to midcoast Maine where she teaches color theory through the Camden Rockport Middle School’s Horizons Arts program.  Her paintings can be seen at the Courthouse Gallery in Ellsworth and Dowling Walsh in Rockland.
