In this class we will explore the visual effects of color and how our eyes and minds perceive it. Students will make a painting each week based upon the various visual effects we will be studying in this class. The supply list is the same as Color Theory 1. 

*Advanced Color Theory class is for students who have already completed Color Theory I taught by Rachel Crawford. 

Rachel Crawford is a native of New Orleans that journeyed to the “country” and landed in the charming town of Covington, Louisiana, with her hubby of 30 years marriage.

She studied at the New Orleans Academy of Fine Arts where she discovered her love of color and gouache. Passionate about color, Rachel now teaches color theory & design classes in her home studio and at her local art association. Bookbinding is her second passion and Rachel loves to teach others how to create books by hand.

Rachel works in gouache, watercolor, acrylic, color pencil, paper collage and mixed media. Her art is bright, happy and energetic and encompasses colorful geometrics, expressive abstracts and paper-cut collages. Nature, primitive arts and mid-century design are her inspirations.

Her award winning art and hand-bound books have been shown and sold in galleries, group exhibitions and art festivals around the Gulf Coast Region and beyond. And Rachel’s bookbinding skills and work have been featured on HGTV.

In Rachel’s words, “I love teaching, because it’s planting creative seeds into others so they can discover, blossom and flourish in their God given creativity which will make the world a more beautiful place.”

 When she is not drawing in her sketchbook, she feeds her creativity by crocheting, reading, writing poetry and exploring the great outdoors.
