10.39 Art Meets Colour Meets Science (Workshop)

Marion Starzacher – University College of Teacher Education Styria, Graz, Austria

Abstract:

Colour vision makes our world colourful, but how do we perceive colours when we dare to look through the proverbial rose-tinted glasses? What happens to the colours? Can we still trust our perception? Experiments with colour filters, coloured light, coloured objects and our own representations show us a different world of colour in which the usual light spectrum does not dominate. What influence does light have on the room and the objects in it? In combination with scientific phenomena and familiar colour scales, the participants discover a possibly new world in various practical applications that is intended to inspire.
