Color Theory for Print and Illustrator Workshop

I have just completed my Final Composition and Final exam for Color Theory for Print. You will find the composition in the class tab. I named it "Beauty and the Beast. I can emphatically say I have learned a great deal in this class. But,  I still believe I have more to learn and will in real world applications. This class taught me the basics of color and its various use/applications. I learned overall the most that I dream in color and favored monochromatic palettes in my every day surroundings. Although I can now appreciate a Tetrad or Triad palette I think I will still heavily saturate my hues within an inch of their lives. Figuratively speaking I now know how to make color leap off the monitor and dance. The instructor for this class deserves praise for her method of teaching. She was hands on when required for direction and hands off for creativity.


She pushed you in directions that would have had you saying "Hey! Why did I not think of that?” I developed a spirit of eagerness in each weekly assignment. And saw every completed composition as a piece for my presentational portfolio. During this class I tried to take on extra work loads by attending an Illustrator workshop and a Photoshop workshop. But with work schedule changes I was only able to complete the Illustrator one. Now, here is where I must give credit when it is due. This teacher "Rocked" in his teaching method. I must add in no comparison to my Color Theory teacher. They both had techniques to convey that just complemented each other. His teaching method was so personable with his video tutorials and written detailed tips that if you struggled thru this workshop you had to ask yourself "Why am I here?”


I learned tricks and techniques from both instructors that I feel will carry me a long way in my future endeavors.


Let me also point out that since I have started my online courses. These two teachers were in my opinion what you should expect and get if you’re taking a course online. They understand the balance of work, deadlines and expected struggles with applications. I completed my assignments on time, not to say just to get them done. But I did them on time because I was eager for their feedback/critique. And what made them stand out the most is how they got the class to commune with each other. I felt that not only did I have to critique a fellow classmate assignment, but that I truly looked forward to the discussions and exchange of ideas. These teachers did not take a back seat they were right in the middle of our discussions. Fueling our ideas and creativity seemed at times to be these instructors only goal. And the Tutorials, Videos, Reading assignments for these classes will help you apply their content immediately.
