ITP Studio Series: Black and White

“Before launching into the full spectrum of color, stand at its edge with white and black, the beginning and the end of color. Black and white provide a frame through which we more clearly see and understand color. Side by side on paper, the contrast between black and white call each more fully to life.”
— Ann Pelo, author of The Language of Art

Description:

Black and white can be stark or subtle, and always sophisticated. Spend the morning exploring these harmonious opposites, and many shades of gray, using a wide variety media and materials.
