For the past few winters, during the weeks that are made of the dark cold days between holiday festivities and mud, I have been lucky enough to join a dozen or so eighth graders at the local middle school for a special class exploring color.

Pictured here are examples of our recent adventures in color. Above are solutions to the vibrating/vanishing edges exercise.  Below are our quantity studies, showing that color quantity (both amount and frequency) is a quality when it comes to design.

Can you tell we have florescent lights in our classroom?
