As part of our study of color, we spent a session learning about Mark Rothko. First we read Dr. Seuss's book My Many Colored Days in
which we talked about how certain colors can make you feel certain
ways. We brainstormed a list of emotions for the major colors. (Yellow =
sunny, warm, bright, happy, glad; Blue = cold, sad, cool, icy) Then we
looked at some reproductions of Rothko's work in Jacob Bael-Teshuva's
book Rothko. Then it was on to creating our own color studies in
the artist's style. We really focused on how we were feeling today and
how different colors looked when juxtaposed against each other.
