COLOR CONFIDENCE

An overview of each lecture topic

  • COLOR CONTEXT

    Color Context covers how we engage and relate to color in our everyday life. Color is controlled by the perception of how our eyes and brain process light. Color is emotional and can change the environment. We discuss how to create visual dominance and direct the viewer's eyes. Color is cultural and is influenced by your life experiences.

  • COLOR BASICS

    Color Basics lecture will cover a brief discussion on the history of color and touch on the science of how and why we see color. We will discover color families and learn about color identity to understand their relationship with each other. The basics will cover how color is arranged into value patterns.

  • COLOR HARMONY

    Color Harmony is broken into 2 parts. Part 1 is focused on the color wheel and its configuration. We will review the basic color pairings, then take it deeper into creating more dynamic color palettes. Part 2 is focused on creating color stories that are harmonious and unique. I will guide the class step by step in creating a color story on Canva, a free design software.

Color Confidence Review

by Angela Stoffregen

I would absolutely recommend this class to others. I had heard from another florist that your explanation of color finally made it click for her...and needless to say you made it click for me with plenty of tools & outside resources to deepen my understanding! I loved the resources you provided at the end of each class.

Color Confidence Review

by Beth Brandt

I walked away from this course feeling more confident and brave about taking some risks with color. Learning about context and color was really helpful.

Color Confidence Review

by Emma Van Vranken

Your presentations were very thoughtful and I loved the exercises you had us do for each class. I feel much more confident in my understanding of color and my relationship to it after taking this class. I can make sense of a color wheel now! It was also a great reminder of how we experience color. I feel like I really grasp these concepts now, especially after you went in-depth on how the eye works. This class really allowed me to focus on the information and digest it in a way that I could really internalize.

Color Confidence Review

by Daphne Wu

I would definitely recommend this class! Color Confidence gave me the tools to approach colors in a more systematic way so I don't second guess myself when communicating color choices to clients.

by Sophie Islip

Janelle is a great teacher- she explains things in a great way and she has a great approach to the way she teaches. I think it gives you vital information that could guide your floral practice and thus give you an edge over other designers. Also, it is a great way to invest in your craft and to keep evolving as an artist.

Color Confidence Review

by Lindsay Diminick

I would recommend this class! I'm tried of floral design classes that simply ask the student to mimic the teacher. Teachers need to be able to explain the why behind what they do so students can understand the principles/techniques and develop their own artistic voice in this community. There are far too few classes that allow for authentic learning and this class does just that!
