Courses description

Colour is not just something we see - it's something we feel, interpret, and carry through culture, history, and art. In this vibrant course, we will explore one colour per session, tracing its symbolic meanings, material origins, and artistic transformations across time. From the sacred blues of Renaissance robes to the revolutionary reds of modern movements, each week unveils the story of a single hues. Whether you are an artist, designer, or colour-curious thinker, this course invites you to slow down, look closely, and see colour in a whole new light.
