The Eye Opener Series: An Intro to the Color Literacy Project - Monday 2:15 - 5:30
Participants in this workshop will get the chance to experience a selection of the hands-on beta-test materials and activities which are part of the Eye Opener Series and STEAM Series for the current teacher training program with partner schools. This first two series in the training curriculum are focused on color perception, the human visual system, and naming, describing and ordering color. Exercises will include exploration of color illusions and the comparative mixing of lights, pastels, and spinning disks. Participants will be given free access to the beta-test CLP Teacher Guides and a mini Colour Explorer Tool kit to take home.
*The Colour Literacy Project is a joint effort of the Inter-Society Color Council of the United States (ISCC) and the International Color Association (AIC).
Color Explorer Room - Tuesday 3:30 - 5:30
A drop-in activity room for hands-on color exploration. We would like to set it up on one, two, or three afternoons for attendees to come and play. Team members from the CLP project will staff the room for a couple hours each day. The room will include stations with tools and materials for exploring:
1. the spectrum with prisms, CD's and diffraction gratings
2. light with LED's, lasers, polarizing filters, tablets, and colored shadows
3. vision acuity and limited color vision
4. naming, sorting and ordering color in 2D and 3D
5. partitive mixing with spinning disks
6. simultaneous and successive contrasts and the Munker-White illusion

As a member of the board of directors of the US Inter-Society Color Council (ISCC) and co-chair of the International Color Association Study Group on Color Education, Maggie focuses on bridging between the art, science, and industry of color and advancing color literacy for the twenty-first century. She is the current chair of the Joint International Color Association/ISCC Color Literacy Project, advocating for the integration of art and science in color education programs worldwide.
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.
