DAVID HORNUNG
David Hornung is a painter, former quiltmaker, and professor of art. He has taught painting, drawing, and color at a number of art schools and universities including, Indiana University, Parsons, Pratt, Skidmore, Brooklyn College, and the Rhode Island School of Design. He is currently chair of the Department of Art and Art History at Adelphi University in Garden City, New York.
While at RISD, David developed a color course that combines a study of color perception with practical exercises in color mixing and application. For 14 years, he taught the course to textile designers, painters, and graphic designers. In 2004 his book, Color: A Workshop Approach for Artists and Designers was published in the UK by Laurence King Publishers and in the US by McGraw Hill. Since then, it has been translated into Japanese, Korean, French, and Polish.
David’s color workshop is an intensive, compressed version of the curriculum he developed at RISD. It is based on a series of small projects in gouache that establish key color principles, explore several modes of application, and end with “free studies” wherein students get the opportunity for purposeful experimentation related to their own design interests. Studio work is supplemented with daily PowerPoint presentations and discussion.
