Full course description

This is an onsite workshop that meets for one session from 10am-1PM EST at 170 E 70th Street.

A successful color scheme will pull together the look and feel of a space. This course goes beyond paint and walks you through effective and unique methods for creating a perfect scheme of colors, patterns, and surfaces. Color relationships and the psychology of color are examined. Using a variety of NYSID supplied paint, fabric, and surface swatches, students work in class to develop a mood board.

CE 804, 805 and 806 are separate classes which are combined into the Certificate in Applied Color for Designers when taken as CE3807.  If you choose to take a single class and find you like it, you can take the other two and earn the certificate.
