189 kr
The essence of Josef Albers’s Interaction of Color in a format that engages learners of all ages and levels and encourages a hands-on approach Interaction of Color is often presented as an overarching theory of color, but it is actually a method of learning how to better see and understand color—many of the color exercises illustrated in Interaction of Color were devised by Albers’s students: cutting and pasting, looking, pondering, and learning. This workbook companion is a teaching tool designed to enable readers to engage in the kinds of tactile creativity and exploration that characterized Albers’s own classroom. Focusing on eight of the most important lessons in Interaction of Color, this book invites readers to learn by doing, using only simple materials. Core instructions for each exercise are enhanced by additional tips, references to Albers’s original text and illustrations, and stories about how Albers presented the ideas in class. The book and exercises are sufficiently nuanced to challenge and inspire seasoned artists, designers, and educators while also being readily accessible to younger readers and less-experienced practitioners.

The 50th anniversary edition of a classic text, featuring an expanded selection of color studies “The landmark 1963 book by Josef Albers . . . isn’t just for aspiring artists. Its mesmerizing illustrations are a revelation for anyone interested in color theory and human perception.”—Pilar Viladas, New York Times “A visionary work.”—Malcolm Jones, Newsweek Josef Albers’s classic Interaction of Color is a masterwork in art education. Conceived as a handbook and teaching aid for artists, instructors, and students, this influential book presents Albers’s singular explanation of complex color theory principles. Originally published by Yale University Press in 1963 as a limited silkscreen edition with 150 color plates, Interaction of Color first appeared in paperback in 1971, featuring ten color studies chosen by Albers, and has remained in print ever since. With over a quarter of a million copies sold in its various editions since 1963, Interaction of Color remains an essential resource on color, as pioneering today as when Albers created it. Fifty years after Interaction’s initial publication, this anniversary edition presents a significantly expanded selection of close to sixty color studies alongside Albers’s original text, demonstrating such principles as color relativity, intensity, and temperature; vibrating and vanishing boundaries; and the illusion of transparency and reversed grounds. A celebration of the longevity and unique authority of Albers’s contribution, this landmark edition will find new audiences in studios and classrooms around the world.

I den här boken tittar vi på vad färger egentligen är, hur de kan ordnas i grupper efter olika egenskaper och hur färger påverkar varandra. Genom att vara medveten om färger och deras egenskaper kan vi lyckas bättre med vår färgsättning. Vi kommer också att titta på färglära på ett praktiskt sätt, det vill säga hur vi ser och upplever färger, hur vi kombinerar färger och hur färgerna påverkar varandra. Vi beskriver hur vi ser färger och tittar på det synliga färgspektrat, vi tittar på olika typer av färgcirklar och beskriver bland annat primärfärger, sekundärfärger, komplementfärger, kalla och varma färger. För att lättare kunna hantera och beskriva färger finns det olika system. Vi tittar närmare på hur färgsystemen RGB, CMYK, NMI, CIE, NCS, Munsell och PMS fungerar. Du kommer även få en insikt i hur färger kan påverka oss och hur vi kan kombinera färger för att uppnå önskat resultat vid färgsättning. Vi går också igenom vad vi behöver tänka på när vi hanterar färger på datorn. I slutet av boken finns en ordlista som kort förklarar ord och begrepp som har någon anknytning till färger.

"Magnificent! The best how-to manual ever published." - Kevin Kelly, Cool Tools Scott McCloud tore down the wall between high and low culture in 1993 with Understanding Comics, a massive comic book about comics, linking the medium to such diverse fields as media theory, movie criticism, and web design. In Reinventing Comics, McCloud took this to the next level, charting twelve different revolutions in how comics are generated, read, and perceived today. Now, in Making Comics, McCloud focuses his analysis on the art form itself, exploring the creation of comics, from the broadest principles to the sharpest details (like how to accentuate a character's facial muscles in order to form the emotion of disgust rather than the emotion of surprise.) And he does all of it in his inimitable voice and through his cartoon stand-in narrator, mixing dry humor and legitimate instruction. McCloud shows his reader how to master the human condition through word and image in a brilliantly minimalistic way. Both comic book devotees and the uninitiated will marvel at this journey into a once-underappreciated art form.

I min värld har färgkulörer betydelse.
Ja , inte någon allvarlig, livsavgörande .... men ändock viktig för välbefinnande och harmoni. Kulörer kan göra en trygg, upprymd, ja på riktigt gott humör. men också stressad rent av orolig. För vissa är kulörvalen helt självklara, för andra ett nästintill oöverstigligt problem. Jag tillhör den första gruppen, men ömmar starkt för de sistnämnde.
Rött, blått, grönt ... Hjälp!!
Är det så ni känner? Ta det med ro. Här sammanfattar jag mina färgsättningstips och hoppas att de med många sköna bilder ska bli till hjälp och inspiration.

The 50th anniversary edition of a classic text, featuring an expanded selection of color studies “The landmark 1963 book by Josef Albers . . . isn’t just for aspiring artists. Its mesmerizing illustrations are a revelation for anyone interested in color theory and human perception.”—Pilar Viladas, New York Times “A visionary work.”—Malcolm Jones, Newsweek Josef Albers’s classic Interaction of Color is a masterwork in art education. Conceived as a handbook and teaching aid for artists, instructors, and students, this influential book presents Albers’s singular explanation of complex color theory principles. Originally published by Yale University Press in 1963 as a limited silkscreen edition with 150 color plates, Interaction of Color first appeared in paperback in 1971, featuring ten color studies chosen by Albers, and has remained in print ever since. With over a quarter of a million copies sold in its various editions since 1963, Interaction of Color remains an essential resource on color, as pioneering today as when Albers created it. Fifty years after Interaction’s initial publication, this anniversary edition presents a significantly expanded selection of close to sixty color studies alongside Albers’s original text, demonstrating such principles as color relativity, intensity, and temperature; vibrating and vanishing boundaries; and the illusion of transparency and reversed grounds. A celebration of the longevity and unique authority of Albers’s contribution, this landmark edition will find new audiences in studios and classrooms around the world.

I den här boken tittar vi på vad färger egentligen är, hur de kan ordnas i grupper efter olika egenskaper och hur färger påverkar varandra. Genom att vara medveten om färger och deras egenskaper kan vi lyckas bättre med vår färgsättning. Vi kommer också att titta på färglära på ett praktiskt sätt, det vill säga hur vi ser och upplever färger, hur vi kombinerar färger och hur färgerna påverkar varandra. Vi beskriver hur vi ser färger och tittar på det synliga färgspektrat, vi tittar på olika typer av färgcirklar och beskriver bland annat primärfärger, sekundärfärger, komplementfärger, kalla och varma färger. För att lättare kunna hantera och beskriva färger finns det olika system. Vi tittar närmare på hur färgsystemen RGB, CMYK, NMI, CIE, NCS, Munsell och PMS fungerar. Du kommer även få en insikt i hur färger kan påverka oss och hur vi kan kombinera färger för att uppnå önskat resultat vid färgsättning. Vi går också igenom vad vi behöver tänka på när vi hanterar färger på datorn. I slutet av boken finns en ordlista som kort förklarar ord och begrepp som har någon anknytning till färger.

"Magnificent! The best how-to manual ever published." - Kevin Kelly, Cool Tools Scott McCloud tore down the wall between high and low culture in 1993 with Understanding Comics, a massive comic book about comics, linking the medium to such diverse fields as media theory, movie criticism, and web design. In Reinventing Comics, McCloud took this to the next level, charting twelve different revolutions in how comics are generated, read, and perceived today. Now, in Making Comics, McCloud focuses his analysis on the art form itself, exploring the creation of comics, from the broadest principles to the sharpest details (like how to accentuate a character's facial muscles in order to form the emotion of disgust rather than the emotion of surprise.) And he does all of it in his inimitable voice and through his cartoon stand-in narrator, mixing dry humor and legitimate instruction. McCloud shows his reader how to master the human condition through word and image in a brilliantly minimalistic way. Both comic book devotees and the uninitiated will marvel at this journey into a once-underappreciated art form.

I min värld har färgkulörer betydelse.
Ja , inte någon allvarlig, livsavgörande .... men ändock viktig för välbefinnande och harmoni. Kulörer kan göra en trygg, upprymd, ja på riktigt gott humör. men också stressad rent av orolig. För vissa är kulörvalen helt självklara, för andra ett nästintill oöverstigligt problem. Jag tillhör den första gruppen, men ömmar starkt för de sistnämnde.
Rött, blått, grönt ... Hjälp!!
Är det så ni känner? Ta det med ro. Här sammanfattar jag mina färgsättningstips och hoppas att de med många sköna bilder ska bli till hjälp och inspiration.
Kära läsare, håll till godo.
