This article explores the organization of methodological support for the thematic diversification of the course Color science for first-level higher education students specializing in graphic design in the professional arts field.
First of all, attention is drawn to the need to take into account theoretical and practical standards for mastering knowledge of the functioning of colors, with a possible additional application of a favorable creative Pop art method for analyzing the use of colors in stylistically complex visual solutions. The study also emphasizes the artistic significance of Andy Warhol’s decisive achievements as an outstanding representative of Pop art, whose works indicate the promise of refining professional skills to achieve spectacular accuracy in reproducing harmonious color combinations.
Pop art styling is only seemingly a narrow thematic component, because mastering the professional possibilities of color requires taking into account the famous and influential achievements of global significance. Andy Warhol’s creative contribution is undoubtedly an unforgettable page in the history of art, but his visual innovations in color polyphony have taken knowledge of the functioning of colors to a new dimension of progressive realization.
Thus, considering the specifics of color combinations in the artworks of Pop art representatives, especially Andy Warhol, is a consistent thread throughout this study. Therefore, referring to color-stylistic preferences for dynamic shades aims to support students’ creative development in the designer training program.
Nevertheless, the pursuit of spectacular dynamics to attract attention in the execution of an image, through mastery of color diversity, is also among the professional advantages of the design field. Therefore, the thematic application of the pop art style in teaching “Color science” allows students to become acquainted with visual examples of a well-known movement and skillful demonstrations of the significance of color.
