About this Event
Want to know your color season but don’t know where to start? Join Portland-based color analyst Cristie Austin for an introduction to the history and evolution of personal color analysis. Learn how modern color analysis goes beyond simply determining whether someone is warm or cool by evaluating undertone, chroma, value, and contrast. Cristie will also share a visual slideshow of real client case studies to demonstrate how different colors can affect the appearance of the skin, facial features, and overall harmony.
This event will be held inside the new Jordan Schnitzer School for Art + Art HIstory + Design on 1981 SW Broadway, Portland, OR 97201. JSMA at PSU staff will be on site to help direct you to the lecture space from the museum.
