The renowned artist Marc Chagall once expressed the sentiment that "all colors are the friends of their neighbors and the lovers of their opposites." Made in the image of God, His children have been given the gift of creation. The artistry of God's hand is demonstrated daily as we experience the natural wonders and shapes of the earth. Color shows intricate relationships and harmonious interplay. In this educational session, students explore color theory, guided by a deep understanding of the color wheel and its pivotal role in artistic expression. The session includes practical exercises and helps students build their own color wheel and favorite pallets. Students will learn new methods of self-expression, creativity, and communication of complex ideas and feelings. The color relationships are a schematic that guides artists in color expression and design. The joy of life is color and participants are encouraged to see themselves as artists in progress.
This session is a dynamic design charrette aimed at guiding students through a comprehensive master planning session. Engage in meaningful discussions on community design, covering essential elements such as parks, schools, churches, and traffic routes. A charrette is an example of the value of citizens being civil minded in a community and fuels collaborative efforts. In this session, stakeholders will unite with experts to tackle community challenges head-on and establish collective policies. Through charrettes, we foster trust and empower individuals to address contentious issues, fostering a cohesive community environment with a shared vision of quality living. Let's dive in and make a difference together!
