| description |
This paper aims to address a long-term issue in the teaching of practical color theory knowledge – the concept of color harmony. The concept of color harmony has been used as the pedagogical framework for students’ learning of color application. On the contrary, multiple quantitative studies which are cited in the paper, have shown evidence that the ambiguity of this concept could not be addressed. The issue is discussed here and a new training direction is suggested so that future training of practical color theory may avoid this issue. |
