By Steve Draper,   Department of Psychology,   University of Glasgow.

This page will be the index to stuff related to Marianne Patera's paper(s) on teaching colour theory.

A longer, perhaps rougher, version of this paper.

The task specification always was "Arrange this set of coloured tiles in any way that seems logical to you".

All sets, before any training

Combining all sets
