5.0 out of 5 stars important tool for artists & designers, read his book first, August 1, 2002

Thomas Kryton (Calgary, Alberta Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Color Star (Paperback)

Johannes Ittens is unarguably recognized as the master of color from the Bauhaus school of art. The color star is a valuable asset to any artist or designer that wants to become better with making color choices. However, as any good tool goes the color star by itself won't be much use to you unless you've studied the material presented in one of his books.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Tool, October 17, 2007

P.G. - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Color Star (Paperback)

Itten's COLOR STAR is a wonderful and useful tool. I wish the price were a bit lower to make it more affordable for students - I would definitely consider adopting it as a tool for my Color courses. Itten's work with color is at once practical, accessible, and sophisticated. The COLOR STAR is a vehicle to experiment with color chords and color schemes, and a means to investigate new color relationships - easy to use, beautifully packaged too. A nice companion to his ART OF COLOR and ELEMENTS OF COLOR.

3.0 out of 5 stars Seems very expensive
How can the color wheel cost $976.98 on Amazon.com and CDN$ 23.93 on Amazon.ca? WHY, HOW can a set of papper discs and a booklet cost over nine hundred Dollars?

3.0 out of 5 stars Just a set of wheels
Very disappointed by the "book", which actually consists of a set of wheels,
with a 4-page booklet which does not explain much. I returned the book.
