Your Intuitive Colorscape
This event is expired.
Have you ever come across a colorful object out in the world and felt immediately nostalgic? Do you recall ever being unexpectedly moved to feel great sadness or joy when seeing a certain color, but unable to explain why? Explore these questions with Oakland-based artist and author Lise Silva Gomes as she leads an introspective color experience.
Participants begin by intuitively responding to projected color fields and taking note of memories, images, and emotions they associate with specific shades. Gomes then invites the group to use colored pencils, origami paper, and other creative supplies to unpack the source of their visceral chromatic reactions. Participants leave with a better understanding of their personal color palette and new ideas for how to incorporate it into their everyday lives.
Your Intuitive Colorscape is open to participants ages 14 and up. All experience levels are welcome. All materials, including journals, color papers, color pencils, and palette templates, are included.
This workshop is presented in conjunction with McEvoy Foundation for the Arts' current exhibition Color Code, which celebrates the many ways that color is used to convey meaning and elicit emotion. Modern and contemporary artworks from the McEvoy Family Collection join four new commissions by Bay Area artists Sadie Barnette, Angela Hennessy, Clare Rojas, and Zio Ziegler to showcase how we bring color into our lives. The exhibition is on view through January 21, 2023. Admission is free.
$35-45.
