The Colour Literacy Project is an educational initiative to build a bridge between the sciences, arts, design and humanities for 21st century colour education, while addressing common misconceptions and misinformation about colour.

Our website is under development, and will contain state-of-the-art, introductory, interdisciplinary information on colour within a multi-disciplinary framework, for teachers of all education levels.

We are re-framing colour education to focus on experiential learning, incorporating up-to-date scientific discoveries and technologies, to make it relevant for our 21st century experience of colour.

We are currently beta-testing three foundational series for teachers.

EYE OPENER SERIES:

Starts with seeing and noticing colour variations and introduces basic ideas about how we see colour; establishes the importance of how colours are always viewed in context; solidifies being able to describe colour with all its attributes and explores the 3-dimensional nature of colour spaces.

STEAM SERIES:

Explores the spectrum and relations between light and colour; compares various colour mixing processes; introduces colour perception; explores various types of complementary colours; introduces contexts for device-dependent colour.

LIVING IN COLOUR SERIES:

Explores our cultural and emotional connections to colour, the ways colour plays a role in our personal and cultural identities, and ways that colour helps us to make sense of the world around us.
