Hello everyone,

In this class you will learn some colour theory that you can use as inspiration when choosing your colour palettes.

This class will cover:

Hue, value and intensity
Additive Colour Theory
Subtractive Colour Theory
The Colour Wheel
Warm and cool Colours
Analogous and Complementary colours
Monochromatic, Split Complementary, Triadic, Tetradic and Square colour schemes
Saturation

I have included a Study Guide in the Project resources that you can download which has all the information in bullet points and includes all important diagrams.

You can print this study guide and follow along whilst watching the class or use it as a refresher afterwards!

This class is suitable for beginners looking to learn about colour theory.

You do not need any previous experience to take this class.

The class project will be to create 1-4 colour palettes/schemes by using the colour theory from this class.

Please have a quick read of the Class Project description for more deails and for what materials you will need to complete the class project.

I hope that you will enjoy this class.

Happy learning!
