Abstract

This paper explores how color experience in preschool and primary school contexts can become color education: specifically, through the use of digital technologies and an interdisciplinary approach, the experience of color can be expanded from the material dimension represented by colors of pigment to include the virtual dimension of colors of light.

A. Poli—This paper reflects the joint thinking of the two authors, but the writing up was divided between them as follows: Introduction, Section 2 and Conclusions were written by Annamaria Poli, and Section 3 by Franca Zuccoli.
