This course presupposes a sound understanding of the principles of drawing, value organization and design principles, all of which are offered in the foundation in drawing and design course.
Before frightening the student with the notion that organizing the palette is difficult, let me quickly say we need only three pigment colors and white paint to get started.
The color theory and palette control DVDs, couples with the text by Frank Morley Fletcher, provide all the information needed to gain considerable control over the subject.
The fear that color control and color theory are complex and difficult are unfounded. We will only need three colored pigments and white paint to create the basic palette.
While watching the DVD series of lectures, please keep in mind that at no time do we place more that seven colors on the palette, and often we will only use four or five of those.

I am an art teacher. I use the course not only for my professional development but also will be purchasing some of the recommended texts for our school library. My hope is to create interdisciplinary art/ math projects.

I have learned so much and have improved my art as well as my students art. I have a great process and procedure now that make my students successful at drawing. Any more helpful notes or examples or more videos would be great.
Thanks for all the great work!
