You might suggest the text by Marcia Hall, below, for some ideas. 

 

Hall, M. B. (1992). Color and Meaning: Practice and Theory in Renaissance
Painting. Cambridge, England: Cambridge University Press.

 

There are lots of ties to culture, color and art, some of these are so
obvious that we tend not to think about them at all (e.g., Mary/Madonna =
blue, Roman rulers = purple). 

 

Color is also incredibly important for tapestry manufacturing, and you could
point out that much color research was being performed in the 18th century
in Europe for this purpose (among these explorations was the work of
Michel-Eugene Chevreul (1786-1889) at Gobelins). Hope this helps!

[EXTERNAL] 


Hi List of Collective Wisdom,

 

I have a faculty looking to have his students research a culture and the
color(s) used in its art forms.

 

I am afraid I am not coming up with anything that great to help him.

 

Any ideas as to how I could go about instructing his students on how to
research a culture and the color(s) used in its art forms?

 

Feel free to reply to me off list and many thanks in advance as I am open to
any ideas!

 

Best,
