This article focuses on the “Poetry and Colors” traditional Chinese color workshop, exploring the aesthetic of colors in ancient Chinese poetry by visualizing the colors mentioned in the poems. The workshop consists of four modules: colors of nature, colors of seasons, colors of everyday life, and colors of emotions, delving into the interplay between colors and emotions in poetry through artistic perception and practice. This workshop serves as both an academic exchange activity and a social practice event, allowing participants to experience the enchanting colors in ancient poetry through artistic practice and striving to integrate classical color aesthetics into modern design. It not only contributes to the inheritance and development of traditional culture but also stimulates students’ creativity and enhances their aesthetic qualities, injecting fresh artistic and cultural vitality into society. In the future, it is hoped that such exchange activities can continue to thrive and make positive contributions to cultural exchange and sharing.
