Divide yourselves into pairs or small groups. Each person should choose a color artwork. Focusing on the artist’s use of color, write a paragraph on the artwork you have chosen, and one on each artwork picked by other members of the group. In these paragraphs make sure you describe all of the colors that you see in the work. Do you have any personal associations with these colors? At the end of the exercise, compare your results with those of your group members. The differences and similarities that result from this comparison should show you that there often can be shared perceptions of certain colors, but also that viewing color is a very subjective experience.

Why not sculpture or architecture? Is there one medium within painting, for example oil paint, or tempera, that most represents this phenomenon?
