Synthesized answer
The provided passages describe an "experimental approach" to studying and teaching color that is "comprised of exercises in seeing color action and feeling color relatedness" before introducing color theory [Passage 1]. This approach emphasizes hands-on activities.
However, the passages do not specify what particular hands-on activities or inquiries would be designed to help someone grasp "color action" and "color relatedness" before the word "theory" is introduced. The passages state that such exercises are part of the approach but do not detail their specific design.

- If you had to explain to a complete beginner what "seeing color action" means, what simple example or demonstration would you use to illustrate that colors are not static but dynamic?
- How would you differentiate between merely *observing* color relationships and truly *feeling* color relatedness, and why might this distinction be crucial for a deep understanding of color beyond intellectual comprehension?
- Why is the order "exercises in seeing color action and feeling color relatedness before arriving at color theory" so important? What limitations or misunderstandings might arise if someone started with color theory first?
- How do the concepts of "seeing color action" and "feeling color relatedness" collectively contribute to a more intuitive and integrated understanding of color than traditional methods that might prioritize abstract principles or definitions?
