Students experiment with color as a powerful design element, from how it shapes what people see and feel, to its influence on emotion and decision making. Through hands-on exercises, research, and creative exploration, students move from traditional color theory to digital applications, learning to leverage color for impactful design solutions. Research and analysis deepen students' understanding of color phenomena across diverse fields, enhancing their ability to use color purposefully and expressively. This color-driven work becomes the next essential component in the first-year portfolio. Prerequisite(s): FOUN 110 or DSGN 100. Attributes: Studio Elective Requirement
