Beginning with simple sensory experiences and experiments, the author leads readers to an understanding of colors, rainbows, and color circles (as created by Goethe, Rudolf Steiner, and Harald K ppers). He provides simple but vivid explanations of the basic colors, the complementary colors, and the mystery of colored shadows.
He also offers commentary on the psychology and mythology of colors and demonstrates connections between them, the planets and the signs of the zodiac. The book gives readers a delightfully illustrated introduction to the world of colors. Packed with full-color images, it leads from perception to understanding and from experience to practice. This book is ideal for parents, teachers and anyone who wishes to develop a deeper knowledge and appreciation of the phenomenon of color.
