What Color Is It?

Sponsored and hosted by Smithsonian Anacostia Community Museum: To help you discover the beautiful and unexplored world of color around us, artist Peter Krsko of the art and design group Albus Cavus leads a workshop that examines the phenomenon of color. What is it and how do we perceive it? Why is a sunset red and a rainbow always the same? To answer these questions, we will look at color from the perspective of an artist, physicist, neuroscientist, and biologist.

On Sunday, November 20, 2011, 2 – 3:30pm in Anacostia Community Museum, Program Room. Free; for reservations, call 202-633-4844
