Book excerpt: Giving an overview of the history of color theory from ancient and classical cultures to contemporary contexts, this book explores important critical principles and provides practical guidance on the use of color in art and design. Going beyond a simple recitation of what has historically been said about color, artist and educator Aaron Fine provides an intellectual history, critiquing prevailing Western ideas on the subject and challenging assumptions. He analyses colonialist and gendered attitudes, materialist and romanticist perspectives, spiritualist approaches to color, color in the age of reproduction, and modernist and post-modernist color strategies. Highlighted throughout are examples of the ways in which attitudes towards color have been impacted by the legacy of colonialism and are tied up with race, gender, and class. Topics covered include color models, wheels and charts, color interaction and theories of perception, with over 150 images throughout. By placing under-examined tenets of color theory such as the color wheel and color primaries within the Western industrial context that generated them, Fine helps you to connect color choices to color meanings and apply theory to practice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a conversation with his physician, a nineteenth-century resident of Paris who lived near the railroad described sensations of brilliant color generated by the sounds of trains passing in the night. This patient - a synaesthete - experienced "color hearing" for letters, words, and most sounds. Synaesthesia, a phenomenon now known to science for more than a century, is a rare form of perception in which one sense may respond to stimuli received by other senses.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The outline of this story: "Barbie in Star Light Adventure" is a story about dreams, courage, friendship, and the many wonders of the world that will never get old. The story is set in the beautiful town of Glitter Ville, where we meet Barbie, a wonderful girl who can't get enough of adventures. She wants to leave her small town. She has beautiful blue eyes and golden hair. Barbie has a strong urge to reach for the stars one night as she looks at them from her balcony. She goes on a mission to reach her goals in the universe. Her wise grandpa, Professor Pops, an inventor, and former moon explorer, inspires her to do this. Professor Pops gives Barbie great advice, stressing how important it is to be brave, determined, and plan carefully. Barbie works hard to learn about science, physics, and building spaceships. Her friends Skipper, Stacie, and Chelsea always back her up. They work together to design and build the "Star Dreamer," a spaceship that can handle the harsh conditions of space flight. Barbie and her friends work hard on their project for months, which turn into years. The Star Dreamer is finally ready to go on its first trip. Professor Pops' eyes shine with pride as all of Glitter Ville comes together to say goodbye to Barbie. When the Star Dreamer takes off into the night sky, Barbie's heart skips a beat. She goes on a trip through space that will take her to faraway worlds, introduce her to strange animals, and show her the wonders of the universe. Along the way, she meets a hurt star named Twinkle, who invites her to join her search for the famous Star Crystal. Barbie's journey shows how strong dreams can be and how important friends are. Nova the Comet and Luna the Moonbeam help Barbie and her new friends get around the sky. They answer puzzles, show old truths, and show how kindness can make a difference. Their trip takes them to Lumaria, a remote and interesting world where the Star Crystal is kept. After going through a lot of trouble and pain, they reach the heart of Lumaria and break Star Crystal's spell. The whole world is filled with a warm, caring light, and the stars are shining brighter than they ever have. Barbie says goodnight to her alien friends and goes back to Earth when the job is done. People in Glitter Ville are glad to see her back because while she was gone, the stars got brighter. The village changes into a place where science, art, and adventure are at the center. Barbie's impact goes far beyond the small town where she grew up. She motivates people all over the world, sparking a global interest in space travel and bringing people together as they try to reach their goals. Her journey, which was full of dreams, courage, knowledge, and friendship, shows that the universe is full of magic and wonder for those who are brave enough to explore it. As the story goes on, Barbie's name comes to mean "stars," and her heart will always belong to the sky. Her legacy is a monument to the power of dreams, the search for knowledge, the strength of friendships, and the vast possibilities of the world. It's a reminder that anyone with bravery and a strong will can reach for the stars and find out all the secrets of the universe. How the story started: Once upon a time, a young woman named Barbie lived in the lovely town of Glitter Ville. Glitter Ville was a beautiful little town in a valley surrounded by hills covered in bright wildflowers. The town itself was a sight to see, with its cobblestone streets, pastel-colored houses, and streets lined with trees that bloomed in every color of the rainbow. It was the kind of place where it felt like time had stopped and every day was a nice, warm afternoon. Barbie, on the other hand, was not like the other girls in Glitter Ville. She stood out like a sparkling gem among a bunch of different people. Barbie was different from her friends because she had a unique sense of fun. While the other kids spent their afternoons playing in the town square or exploring the nearby woods, Barbie's heart longed for something more. She really wanted to see the world outside of her small, lovely town. The place Barbie lived in was just as appealing as the way she looked. Her calm, deep blue eyes looked like they held the soul of the evening sky. They had a spark of curiosity and wonder that hinted at her unique spirit. When Barbie walked, her golden hair sparkled and flowed like liquid sunshine. It fell in waves down her back, catching the light and giving her a warm, golden glow wherever she went. The people of Glitter Ville were amazed by Barbie's beauty and her special way of making every day look like something special. Her laughter sounded like wind chimes in the distance, and she could make an easy walk across the town square into a fun adventure. Her love of life was inspiring, and people were drawn to her like moths to a flame. Her friends loved spending time with her. But Barbie wasn't just special because she was beautiful or had a charming personality. What really set her apart was the fire in her heart, which was full of dreams and a strong desire to see the world outside of Glitter Ville. Barbie's dreams were as big as the sky, and she wanted to go on adventures that would take her to faraway places with amazing things she had never seen before. Every night, Barbie would sit on her porch and stare at the stars as the sun set and turned the sky pink and orange. She would get lost in the sparkling constellations and trace them with her finger as if she could touch them. During these times, her dreams took off, and she imagined herself as a brave explorer who flew through the universe to faraway galaxies and new worlds. Barbie's room showed how creative she could be. The walls were covered with posters of scientists, celestial bodies, and spaceships of all shapes and sizes. She had a library full of books about astronomy, physics, and space travel, which she read quickly because she was so hungry for knowledge. Barbie was determined to find out as much as she could about the universe. She knew that knowledge was the key to finding out the secrets of the universe. Barbie's sense of adventure, however, was not just in her head. She was a girl who did things, and she knew that dreams alone wouldn't get her out of Glitter Ville. Barbie wanted to make her dreams come true as much as she wanted to be like the stars she looked up to. She knew she couldn't travel by herself, so she asked her best friends, Skipper, Stacie, and Chelsea, to help her. They were a close-knit group of friends. Each of them had their own skills and quirks, but they all loved Barbie and were loyal to her. Together, they were an unbeatable force that was ready to take on any problem. Barbie felt a deep longing in her heart as she lay on her porch and looked up at the stars one beautiful evening. The sky was a medley of colors that made the night in Glitter Ville different from any other. The stars shone with a brightness that seemed to go beyond what was known. Each one looked like a tiny lamp lighting up the dark night, and all of them together gave the town a beautiful, ethereal glow. Barbie's balcony was her safe place. It was a place where she could get away from the everyday and dive into the mysteries of the world. She would often come back to this place after a long day of learning and getting ready for her next trip. The balcony gave her a first-person view of the wonders of the universe that had her mind riveted. Here, she found peace, inspiration, and a strong sense of being connected to the world. Barbie leaned back in her balcony chair and ran her fingers along the cool wrought-iron fence. A light breeze carried the smell of flowers from nearby fields, and the quiet chirping of crickets was a soothing lullaby. She looked up into the sky, and her blue eyes sparkled in the light of the stars. She felt a clear connection to the world. As she looked up at all the stars, she felt a strong sense of desire. It was as if the stars themselves were telling her secrets and pushing her to find out what amazing things were outside of Glitter Ville. It was more than a little girl's usual fantasy; it was a call from the deepest part of her soul. Barbie knew that there was something beyond the twinkling stars that she had to find out about. Since she could remember, she had been getting this feeling. She couldn't stop wanting to go to places no one from Glitter Ville had ever been before. She felt like her future was tied to the stars, and she couldn't fight it any longer. Barbie made a firm choice that changed the course of her life for good. She decided to go on a trip that would take her to meet the stars she looked up to. She didn't make the choice quickly because she knew that such an expedition would be hard and full of unknowns. Barbie, on the other hand, had always been a girl with a strong will. Once she made up her mind about something, she never changed her mind. As Barbie put her plan into action, the next few days were a blur of action. She didn't think she could go on such a crazy trip by herself, so she asked her grandfather, Professor Pops, for help and support. Professor Pops was an old man with a lot of experience. He had once made a rocket that went to the moon. He had always supported Barbie's goals because he saw the same spark of curiosity and excitement in her eyes that had led him to pursue his own. Barbie sat down with her granddad, and they talked late into the night about her goals and dreams. She said she wanted to learn more about the stars, and Professor Pops was happy to help. He knew Barbie could do great things, and he put all of his faith in her. With his help, Barbie started making plans for her trip through space. Barbie's first step was to learn the information and skills she needed to go to space. She worked hard at her studies and read a lot of books about astronomy, physics, and building spaceships. Every day was a chance to learn something new, and she liked the challenge of mastering the hard topics that would prepare her for the unknown. Barbie was very determined, and she put a lot of effort into her schoolwork. She spent a lot of time at the local library, surrounded by stacks of books and notes, learning about how to use the stars to navigate and how rockets work. Her friends Skipper, Stacie, and Chelsea joined her in her quest for information. Together, they formed a close and eager study group. Barbie and her friends became a strong team as the days turned into weeks and the weeks into months. They were all driven by a desire to find out more about the world. They worked on hard math, experiments, and hands-on projects like designing spacecraft parts and making model rockets. It was its own journey of discovery, as they learned not only about how big the universe is, but also about the power of friendship and working together. Barbie's room was turned into a makeshift lab with plans, charts, and mockups of spacecraft parts. The walls were covered with posters of astronauts and space adventures, which were always a source of inspiration. Barbie could feel her excitement growing as they got closer to their goal each day, like a rocket getting ready to take off. But Barbie's adventures didn't just take place in her studies and in her room. She knew that having practical knowledge was just as important as knowing things in theory. With the help of her grandfather, she and her friends made a life-sized copy of their spaceship, the "Star Dreamer." It was a labor of love, built with precision and care, and it was a physical representation of their hopes and dreams. As the Star Dreamer took shape, the whole town of Glitter Ville came together to help Barbie and her friends. The community came together to help. Engineers and craftspeople from the area shared their knowledge, and people from the town gave support and supplies. The way people worked together in Glitter Ville was a testament to the belief that dreams can come true when a community works together.

Story Begins: Barbie was a little girl who lived in a cute little town. People knew her for having beautiful golden hair, bright blue eyes, and a kind heart. Barbie stood out among the simple homes and friendly neighbors in the town as a symbol of modesty and purity. Barbie had golden hair that fell down her back in waves that sparkled like a river of light. As the light caught on her and turned into a beautiful halo, she looked like a living, breathing sign of hope. Her bright blue eyes sparkled with interest, like two sapphires watching over the secrets of the world. But what made Barbie different from the other kids in town was her heart. She had a giving heart that touched everyone she met. She could make anyone feel special and better, even on the worst days, with her kind words and warm smile. It was Barbie's job to show that even in a world that seemed rude and rushed, good manners could still win. The one thing that made Barbie different, though, was something that not many people knew about her: she could go to Dreamland, a magical world that appeared only in her dreams. The hamlet would go to sleep every night, and Barbie's travels would begin. Dreamland was a place where dream rules did not apply. It stretched out in front of her like a beautiful tapestry in her thoughts. It was a world where the trees whispered secrets and the animals spoke in riddles and wisecracks. The sky was purple and turquoise. In Dreamland, Barbie can be anyone and go anywhere. It's a place where anything is possible and where the soul can find comfort. Her adventures at night were amazing. She would soar through the sky on a shiny dragon, feeling the rush of freedom in her blood as the wind pulled her hair back. She would have tea parties with rabbits that could talk. The rabbits' laughter would sound like a happy symphony in a field of brightly colored flowers. She liked to wander around in beautiful forests where streams sang lullabies to long-lost hopes and trees whispered stories of past adventures. Barbie, on the other hand, found the animals in Dreamland to be very interesting. There was Lumina, a pretty fairy whose wings sparkled like stars at dusk. She would teach Barbie about the night sky by telling her stories about constellations and the music that the stars played. Nimbus, a sneaky cloud fairy who can change shape at will, came next. Nimbus could change into a dolphin to explore the depths of the dream seas or a kite to take Barbie high above the clouds. Barbie and Nimbus would go on exciting adventures together. She made new friends every night, and each one was more creative than the last. She laughed with kind giants whose hearts were as big as the sky, danced with fire sprites whose bright flames lit up the night sky, and talked with wise old owls who taught her ancient secrets.

Download or read book What Color Is the Sacred written by Michael Taussig and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2010-07-01 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past thirty years, visionary anthropologist Michael Taussig has crafted a highly distinctive body of work. Playful, enthralling, and whip-smart, his writing makes ingenious connections between ideas, thinkers, and things. An extended meditation on the mysteries of color and the fascination they provoke, What Color Is the Sacred? is the next step on Taussig’s remarkable intellectual path. Following his interest in magic and surrealism, his earlier work on mimesis, and his recent discussion of heat, gold, and cocaine in My Cocaine Museum,this book uses color to explore further dimensions of what Taussig calls “the bodily unconscious” in an age of global warming. Drawing on classic ethnography as well as the work of Benjamin, Burroughs, and Proust, he takes up the notion that color invites the viewer into images and into the world. Yet, as Taussig makes clear, color has a history—a manifestly colonial history rooted in the West’s discomfort with color, especially bright color, and its associations with the so-called primitive. He begins by noting Goethe’s belief that Europeans are physically averse to vivid color while the uncivilized revel in it, which prompts Taussig to reconsider colonialism as a tension between chromophobes and chromophiliacs. And he ends with the strange story of coal, which, he argues, displaced colonial color by giving birth to synthetic colors, organic chemistry, and IG Farben, the giant chemical corporation behind the Third Reich. Nietzsche once wrote, “So far, all that has given colour to existence still lacks a history.” With What Color Is the Sacred? Taussig has taken up that challenge with all the radiant intelligence and inspiration we’ve come to expect from him.

Even so, there is a darkness that threatens to extinguish the light of their childhood.
