Saturday, January 19, 2013
10:15 a.m. – 1:15 p.m.

Classroom 114 and museum galleries

Instructor: Ken Wenzel

Color has unique characteristics that the visual artist must understand to exploit its expressive potential. For instance, beyond its emotional impact, it can create the sense of depth and size. This class will cover the major effects of color and specifically the concept of color temperature and its effects. Students will explore these concepts while drawing from paintings in the permanent collection.

Fee per session: $30; $22 MIA members. To register, call (612) 870-6323 or register online »
