Prof. Edda Mally’s Painting Classes in Venice, Italy

This past November, during Prof. Mally’s special seminar for the IACC, a lot of interest was shown in her painting classes. Her next private class (not affiliated with the IACC) is being held in Venice, Italy. Her class is much more than just learning to paint.

Many successful color consultants/designers have been artists, not in the sense of selling art, but using it to express and experiment with color. Faber Birren, the father of our profession, studied art at the Chicago University and was a painter, Dr. Heinrich Frieling, founder of the IACC, was an artist, Frank Mahnke was trained in art, and of course Edda Mally started as an artist. So many more within the IACC have also realized that actually working with color through art expression has made a great difference in becoming a professional color consultant/ designer of excellence.

Dates:
Commences 9 June (day of arrival) and end 19 June (date of departure).
The absolute registration deadline is 31 March 2008.
