SMASHING COLOR
Colour Lit at Taborspace

For the past four years I have worked with an international Color Literacy project team to develop up-to-date resources and materials for teachers to explore color with their students.

I am very excited to offer workshops this summer that include exercises and activities from the Color Lit Project.

Color education is changing in schools around the world, and you can be a part of this transformation just as it’s gathering momentum!

Classes take place at the VIA Artistica Studio located at Taborspace in SE Portland, Oregon. The studio is located on the second floor and, unfortunately, is not ADA-accessible.

CREMA, the coffee shop at Taborspace, has a fabulous selection of pastries and drinks. Yum!


COLOUR LIT
FREE FOCUS GROUPS

Join me on the fourth Fridays of the summer to test run the latest hands-on exercises from the new Colour Literacy Project’s Living in Colour series.

The Living in Colour series is focused on exploring how color and culture interact in our daily lives. Your feedback will help us finetune the exercises for the teacher guides.

COLOUR LIT WORKSHOPS

Join me around the table at VIA Artistica to help beta-test interdisciplinary exercises from the first two series in the Colour Literacy Project.

Featuring engaging, hands-on activities, all three of the workshops are focused on learning how to see, describe, and use color to the greatest effect.
