Download or read book A Cultural History of Color in Antiquity written by David Wharton and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2022-08-31 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Cultural History of Color in Antiquity covers the period 3000 BCE to 500 CE. Although the smooth, white marbles of Classical sculpture and architecture lull us into thinking that the color world of the ancient Greeks and Romans was restrained and monochromatic, nothing could be further from the truth. Classical archaeologists are rapidly uncovering and restoring the vivid, polychrome nature of the ancient built environment. At the same time, new understandings of ancient color cognition and language have unlocked insights into the ways – often unfamiliar and strange to us – that ancient peoples thought and spoke about color. Color shapes an individual's experience of the world and also how society gives particular spaces, objects, and moments meaning. The 6 volume set of the Cultural History of Color examines how color has been created, traded, used, and interpreted over the last 5000 years. The themes covered in each volume are color philosophy and science; color technology and trade; power and identity; religion and ritual; body and clothing; language and psychology; literature and the performing arts; art; architecture and interiors; and artefacts. David Wharton is Associate Professor of Classical Studies at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, USA. Volume 1 in the Cultural History of Color set. General Editors: Carole P. Biggam and Kirsten Wolf
Download or read book Color in the Classroom written by Zoe Burkholder and published by OUP USA. This book was released on 2011-10-05 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between the turn of the twentieth century and the Brown v. Board of Education decision in 1954, the way that American schools taught about "race" changed dramatically. This transformation was engineered by the nation's most prominent anthropologists, including Franz Boas, Ruth Benedict, and Margaret Mead, during World War II. Inspired by scientific racism in Nazi Germany, these activist scholars decided that the best way to fight racial prejudice was to teach what they saw as the truth about race in the institution that had the power to do the most good-American schools. Anthropologists created lesson plans, lectures, courses, and pamphlets designed to revise what they called "the 'race' concept" in American education. They believed that if teachers presented race in scientific and egalitarian terms, conveying human diversity as learned habits of culture rather than innate characteristics, American citizens would become less racist. Although nearly forgotten today, this educational reform movement represents an important component of early civil rights activism that emerged alongside the domestic and global tensions of wartime.Drawing on hundreds of first-hand accounts written by teachers nationwide, Zoe Burkholder traces the influence of this anthropological activism on the way that teachers understood, spoke, and taught about race. She explains how and why teachers readily understood certain theoretical concepts, such as the division of race into three main categories, while they struggled to make sense of more complex models of cultural diversity and structural inequality. As they translated theories into practice, teachers crafted an educational discourse on race that differed significantly from the definition of race produced by scientists at mid-century.Schoolteachers and their approach to race were put into the spotlight with the Brown v. Board of Education case, but the belief that racially integrated schools would eradicate racism in the next generation and eliminate the need for discussion of racial inequality long predated this. Discussions of race in the classroom were silenced during the early Cold War until a new generation of antiracist, "multicultural" educators emerged in the 1970s.

Book excerpt: This engaging guide introduces readers to the rules of color magic and the natural influences of color that can be harnessed to bring about change and improvements in any area of life. Color has a profound effect on our attitudes and emotions. We even us color in our everyday speech—we're green with envy, see red when we're angry, and are blue when we're lonely. Scientific studies have discovered how certain colors influence mood, how quickly patients recover from illness, or how well students learn. Zolar's Magick of Color reveals the secrets of color and explains how to use its energy to make positive changes—to get a new job, get a raise, or develop a new romance. Zolar details a variety of ways to access the transformative properties of color, including wearing clothes of a particular color, surrounding yourself with that color, or burning a colored candle in a ceremony. Zolar explains each color's unique properties and gifts.

This book was released on 2020-04-30 with total page 61 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Person with colour defficiency can recognize all colours and read Ishihara Book. They can pass medical examinations of various services like police, defence, airforce, army. navy etc. Color psychology in Treating Colour Blindness and increasing colour perception is more than just one-sentence explanations of what each color represents. It’s true that specific colors can influence the choices of individuals. Color can affect the brain’s emotion sensors in many ways. It can call attention, inspire emotions, give assurance or tap into nostalgia. But the psychology of color is not that simple. A sentence like “yellow represents creativity and happiness” is not exactly color psychology—it’s a generalized association. In reality, “yellow” can have different connotations depending on how it’s used, what color it’s placed next to and what tone of yellow it is. Yellow is not always happy and creative—sometimes, it’s sickly and pale. The yellow in it is very strong—it catches your attention and makes you feel empowered. Combining this yellow with an image of a roaring lion makes an even stronger impact. To better understand why using the right colors is so important in content Treating Colour Blindness, it’s best to first review the basics. Color psychology in Treating Colour Blindness is primarily based on how people feel about color, and that comes from how they experienced color as children and during the transition into adulthood.
