which colors describe you?
When I was in high school, one of my art teachers gave me the assignment to mix an assortment of colors that described and encapsulated me and my personality. I cannot confidently recall the exact colors I used, but I feel like I must have included red, navy blue, sage green, a light pink and a few shades of orange and yellow. These were all painted on a grid of twelve or sixteen equal sized squares, and I highly doubt I had any difficulty picking colors to include.
However, when I looked at the finished piece, I was very amused by what I had selected.
I was a quiet and unobtrusive child growing up, and I think if someone would have done this assignment describing me as they saw me, they would have picked more neutrals and pastel shades.
But I had described myself as bright and eye catching and almost without limits. I embodied the concept of possibility in my head, with its richness, its beauty and its paradox.
