  • Did Your Primary School Teacher Lie to You About Colour? Prof. Neil Dodgson, Director of the computer graphics program at Victoria University of Wellington, discusses his recent paper in the Journal of Perceptual Imaging: When students start their technical training, at university or in an apprenticeship, we need to teach them to forget what they have known since primary school about colour. We need to take them deeper into the physical and psychophysical properties of colour. We find this a challenge firstly because people are very attached to what they learnt in the early years of their lives and secondly because we do not ourselves necessarily understand why the red-yellow-blue colour wheel is technically incorrect. My work helps us to understand how it developed and, in understanding that, we are better able to transition students to the more accurate technical explanation of colour mixing. http://neildodgson.com/blog/2019/05/31/did-your-primary-school-teacher-lie-to-you-about-colour/ PDF preprint of full paper available from link. #colourtheory #traditionalcolourtheory #colour #colourwheel #color #primarycolours #johannesitten #coloureducation #coloureducator #coloursocietyofaustralia #colourdesign #colourdesignersydney #colourdesigner

  • THE ROUTLEDGE PHILOSOPHY OF COLOUR PROJECT WEBINAR RECORDINGS Video recordings of our ICD 2020 webinar presentations can now be viewed on the CSA NSW Division YouTube channel. In the first presentation Colour Subjectivisms: What, Why, and Which One? Dr Derek H Brown (U Glasgow), co-editor of the forthcoming Routledge Handbook of Philosophy of Colour, discusses the Routledge project and presents a very accessible overview of philosophy of colour. In the second video What is a Colour?: Scientific Opinion about Colour and Colour Measurement CSA NSW Division Chair Dr David Briggs explains current orthodox scientific opinion about colour and colour measurement based on his chapter in the Handbook, Colour Spaces. The videos can be seen on the Colour Society of Australia NSW Division YouTube channel. We had a great response to our ICD 2020 event with registrations from all over the world, including some AIC royalty! Unfortunately Derek had to travel to his home in Canada shortly before the event to be with his wife and son for the duration of the COVID crisis, which would have required him to give his presentation at 3.30 am central Canada time! We therefore decided to record our presentations as videos and make them available directly online.
