Description

The color chart, color variations.

Let's start by familiarizing ourselves with the basics of two-color printing (two passes):

We will work together to collectively create a color chart, a custom color palette.

-What secrets does superposition hide? From the same stencil, discover how two layers of ink (identical or different), under the influence of their opacity level and the chosen support, produce new images each time.

-When proximity comes into play! Explore how the visual experience is modified by the context, complex neighborhood of shapes and colors. You will leave with your own color chart, an inspiring tool for your future experiments.

Methodology:

Our approach combines periods of individual and collaborative work to ensure an enriching and dynamic experience.

-Individual work: everyone progresses at their own pace.

-Pairs and groups: learning through exchange and mutual assistance.

-Theory and practice: document analysis, technical demonstrations, experimentation.
