Three Centuries of Color
Over time a color pattern has developed through the historic events, society, arts, and technology that shape each decade. A correlation can be drawn between the happenings and the prevalent colors for every decade through periods of rest and periods of upheaval. This course illustrates how the use of color can express our individuality and culture, and how the past can inspire us with fresh ideas for using color in the present. Highlighting the prevalent colors of more than ten decades, this course also looks at the societal, political, technological and cultural influences which impacted and defined the personality of each decade.
Upon completion of this course, the Learner should be able to:
- Demonstrate how the historical use of color tells a story of the cultural landscape and social climate for each decade, from 1880 through 2000.

Discuss the cyclical nature of color and color patterns seen throughout history.
Recognize how reviewing color use in previous decades can inspire new, fresh ideas and anticipate future color trends.
