Discussion/Lecture

We have been discussing color for the past two weeks. So, now let’s go visit virtually an art exhibit devoted to one color, the exhibit Blue at the Nassau County Museum of Art. Research on Color has shown that Blue has a calming effect on the Viewer so let’s get mellow and go together virtually to the Nassau County Museum of Art.
