Jason Bemis, Artist and Educator

Connecting with Color
Tuesday 2:15 - 4:15

Our journey begins on a planet that coevolved with light. This evolution led to the rise of fungi, plants, and insects that simultaneously communicated with one another through Light, color, and scent. Thus began a new interwoven system of rules and processes that initiated the beginning of what is known as our eco-system. Applied principles of the effects of color on our physical, psychological, and physiological responses will be explored through architecture, design, and visual systems.

Bio

Jason C. Bemis is a native Vermonter with a diverse range of creative interests. As an artist, and a musician he draws inspiration from the natural world and has spent countless hours exploring diverse ecosystems. As a biologist and designer, he collects visual information information about the flora,  fauna, fungi and the intricate relationships they have with the environment.  He then uses this knowledge to create environmental color systems and regional  color palettes that support his lectures for the AICCE and IACC/NA, on the physiological and psychological effects of color and light on human response. He believes that it's essential to understand our relationship with the environment to create healthier man made spaces that support the human condition.

The Inter-Society Color Council advances the knowledge of color as it relates to art, science, industry and design.
Each of these fields enriches the others, furthering the general objective of color education.
