Teaching

I teach color theory and applied color science as a guest lecturer and in masterclass formats.

Development of color education

I have built the curriculum of the Nederlandse Kleurenschool — five vocational programmes (Color Theory & Advice, Color Design, Color Assessment, Color Making, Pigments), six online courses, and six sector-specific workshops. The educational framework De Nieuwe Kleurenleer (eight-volume concept) translates current color science into structured, professional learning paths. An English edition of Kleurbeoordelen in de Praktijk (applied color assessment) is currently in development. Color education in the Netherlands has been institutionally underdeveloped; this work is a deliberate effort to give the field a coherent body of teaching.

Subjects

Color science and measurement · perceptual color attributes · color experience and cultural variation · color in healthcare environments · color in industrial and design contexts · professional color competency and assessment · color in hospitality, education, and interior design.
