Virtual Lecture - MJ Kinman

Virtual Lecture 

Magic of Color Interaction

Josef Albers, the great artist/educator of the 20th Century, acknowledged how tricky colors can be. In his words, “Colors deceive continuously.” As artists, how do we navigate this world of deception? Luckily, by using a few simple rules, we can predict how color will try to deceive us and thereby increase our color confidence. In this lecture, MJ Kinman, maker of giant gem quilts, will share four rules of color interaction and show you how to apply them to your own quilt design to create dramatic effects – regardless of your subject matter. For example, MJ will show you how to

: • Add sparkle (“bling”!) to your quilts

. • Create dramatic focal points

.• Add exciting visual movement

 • Make your quilts glow.

 • Create powerful transparencies

. • Alter the appearance of a color simply by pairing with another color

. • Create the illusion of metal surfaces without using metallic fabric or thread.

This lecture will be recorded.
