GOETHE_harmony in colour lightness

Goethe estabeleceu no seu "Theory of Colours" que cada cor tinha a sua luminosidade, graduando-as em números de acordo com a sua intensidade: amarelo 9, laranja 8, vermelho 6, verde 6, azul 4, violeta 3. Mais tarde, Johannes Itten no seu "Art of Color" aplicou esta teoria com o objectivo de obter uma harmonia na proporção entre áreas de cor. 

Os alunos deviam procurar/criar situações reais nas quais esta harmonia estivesse presente e capturá-las através de fotografia digital.

Goethe stated in his "Theory of Colours" that each colour has its own lightness and gave each one its grade in numbers: yellow 9, orange 8, red 6, green 6, blue 4, violet 3. Later, Johannes Itten in his "Art of Color" apply this theory in order to seek harmony in the proportion between colour areas. Students should seek/create real situations in which this harmony was present and capture them in a digital photo.
