ALBERS COLOR CONTRASTS
Final Assignment:
1) Itten’s contrasts2) Albers’ interactions3) Bezold effect.
So what is the Bezold Effect?
Wilhelm Von Bezold, A 19th Century Rug De s i g ne r, D i s cove red an OPT IC AL INTERACTION Effect, Which Now Carries His Name, The BEZOLD EFFECT. He Found That He Could Change the Entire Appearance of His Designs by Substituting a Different Color For the Color Which Occupied the Most Area.
Final Assignment:
CHRISTMAS CARD• Objective:
On the front of folded Christmas card, create a color interaction design that demonstrates any one of
1) Itten’s contrasts2) Albers’ interactions3) Bezold effect.
Card Design Option # 1 & 2Itten and Albers
Folded: 5.5” x 4.25” (Itten), 5”x7”, or 5”x8”(Albers)
Itten: Complementary Example Design
Itten: IntensityExample Design
Itten: Contrast of ExtensionExample Design
Itten: Simultaneous ContrastExample Design
Albers’ Interactions:Light/Dark Value or Cool/Warm
Reaction Effect(Folded card 5” x 7” or 5” x 8”)
Albers’ Interactions:Complementary Reaction Effect(Folded card 5” x 7” or 5” x 8”)
Card Design Option # 3: Bezold Effect(Dominant colors change appearance of design)
(Folded: 5”x8”)
Layout,1/3 area:
Bezold Design Example A:
The design is drawn into geometric shapes inside the 1/3 areas.

Bezold Design Example B:
Paint each quadrant background in a different color –complimentary, light/dark (value) warm cool (temperature),
or intense/dull (intensity)
Layout,½ area:
Bezold Effect Example CThe design is within inside the 1/2 areas.
Paint backgrounds in 2 complimentary, light/dark, or dull/bright colors

Bezold Effect Example E
Material for all 3 choices1) Itten’s contrasts
2) Albers’ interactions3) Bezold effect.
• Paint, color markers• Drawing paper 9” x 12” • Pencil, straight edge. A triangle is very helpful.• If you wish, you may use a computer drawing program. 2
designs must be turned in. Your designs must be printed in color on card stock paper (all‐purpose bond paper not acceptable).
