AIR Studio is excited to announce our new workshop teacher, Azadeh Hussaini, who will be teaching a class on contemporary color theory workshop. Azadeh brings a lifetime of experience and expertise in creating art. In this workshop, we study colors beyond understanding basic concepts, such as hue, value and chroma. We analyze the relationships between colors, how they interact, and how they can be used to create specific effects. Also, we explore the effects of warm and cold light on colors.
