vii, 133 p. : ill. ; col. ; 24 cm. "Interaction of Color is often presented as an overarching theory of color, but it is actually a method of learning how to better see and understand color--many of the color exercises illustrated in Interaction of Color were devised by Albers's students: cutting and pasting, looking, pondering, and learning. This workbook companion is a teaching tool designed to enable readers to engage in the kinds of tactile creativity and exploration that characterized Albers's own classroom. Focusing on eight of the most important lessons in Interaction of Color, this book invites readers to learn by doing, using only simple materials. Core instructions for each exercise are enhanced by additional tips, references to Albers's original text and illustrations, and stories about how Albers presented the ideas in class. The book and exercises are sufficiently nuanced to challenge and inspire seasoned artists, designers, and educators while also being readily accessible to younger readers and less-experienced practitioners"-- Provided by publisher Foreword / Nicholas Fox Weber -- Introduction -- The exercises in this book are based on the following chapters or sections of chapters of Interaction of Color: IV A color has many faces - the relativity of color -- V Gradation studies - new presentations -- VI 1 color appears as 2 - looking like the reversed grounds -- VIII Why color deception? - after-image -- IX, XI Color mixture in paper - illusion of transparence, illusion of depth -- XIV Color intervals and transformation -- XVI Color juxtaposition - harmony - quantity -- XVIII Fall leaf studies - an American discovery -- Fritz Horstman.
