"Color science" is a learning to elucidate the color scientifically.
Color science is an academic discipline mainly to elucidate colors from aspects such as physics, physiology and psychology. There are research fields such as "color culture". In other words, it is cross-discipline from natural science to humanities. You will be able to master a wide range of knowledge about colors. Given two main themes of color science, those are
1) The mechanism people distinguish colors.
2) Strict representation of visible colors, and the way to communicate colors to others.
In this course, you will acquire knowledge on the fundamentals of color science such as "light and color", "color specification system" and "color harmony".
This course is designed to achieve Learning Goals 1,3, and 4 of the General Basic Subjects. It is mainly lecture type, and designed to group works and practices.
