DESCRIPTION
This is the presentation I developed to provide Foundations students studying color theory to enable them to achieve a greater understanding of achromatic scale and its correlation to the chromatic scale and how it may be used to create interesting compositions. It also provided a platform to begin building their comprehension of type and how it may be used creatively in their own work.
