Yes, please! I would like one of everything in Paige Russell's Etsy shop. I love that her items are simply and sleek, but still have so much personality.

The Art of Color: Free online course from MIT
MIT has 1900 free courses online through their OpenCourseWare program. Sample course include everything from The Physics of Rock Climbing, Chinese I, to Neural Coding and Perception of Sounds.
The one I'm interested in is The Art of Color. According to the website: This seminar introduces, through studio projects, the basic principles regarding the use of color in the visual arts. Students explore a range of topics, including the historical uses of color in the arts, the interactions between colors, and the psychology of color.
Download your own packet, get the textbooks from your library, read the syllabus, and start the course now.
A is for Awesome
Before I get to the standard Wednesday blog, I have to share this.
These letters were created for WAD magazine by Bel Borsodi (whose website is not PG rated, just a warning). I've never seen 3-D look so 2-D. Via here.

History of the Color Wheel
Colourlovers.com (an great collaboration website all about color and color schemes) recently published a post on the history of the color wheel and color theory. Check the full article out here.
Little tidbits like these are found throughout the article:
"The first color wheel has been attributed to Sir Isaac Newton, who in 1706 arranged red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet into a natural progression on a rotating disk. As the disk spins, the colors blur together so rapidly that the human eye sees white. From there the organization of color has taken many forms, from tables and charts, to triangles and and wheels the history."
