This research aimed to develop a workshop on Color Theory for Visual Arts students, based on
the concepts of Forslind (1996), Pedrosa (2009), Pastoureau (1997), Albers (2009), Ostrower
(1983) and Barbosa's Triangular Approach (2010). This work is related to the INOVAMES line
of research and resulted in the Educational Product entitled “ColorAção Workshop”, involving
a set of applied activities aimed at addressing Color Theories through contextualization,
practice and enjoyment of the content. The context in which the ColorAção Workshop was
applied was the Faculty of Visual Arts (FAV), of the Institute of Art Sciences (ICA), of the
Federal University of Pará (UFPA), where the four face-to-face meetings of the Workshop were
held in September 2023. The participants were 23 students, including those from the BA and
BSc in Visual Arts (UFPA), BA in Film and Audiovisual (UFPA), BA in Music (UFPA), BA
in Computer Science (UFPA) and BA in Design (Pará State University - UEPA). At the
culmination of the ColorAção Workshop, an exhibition was held of the work developed by the
participants over the course of the meetings. Structured questionnaires answered by the
participants were used as instruments for this research and for validating the Educational
Product, as well as diaries drawn up by the researcher exploring their perceptions of each
meeting. Among the results obtained, we highlight the expansion of knowledge of Color
Theories in the participants' educational paths, the engagement of students in the activities, as
well as dialogues and exchanges of experiences about the role of colors in everyday life, shared
throughout the process. It is hoped that the ColorAção Workshop will contribute to the
education of art students and others interested in this area of knowledge, and that it will be
explored in different educational contexts.
