 Enter the realm of colors. The environment where I've always felt secure and whole. I painted an A1 sheet in one color for the first time in my life, and I was both bewildered and excited by the experience. To complete the assignment, we had to look for an object and attempt to achieve its color by combining the primary colors. Really intriguing, I thought. For me, that truly changed the course of my life.

From that time onwards I started addressing the objects in a way such that, " Oh yeah, this color is different, which all colors should be mixed to get this particular shade". 

                                                 

                    "heyyaa.... Check out the three varying egg yokes colors. Isn't it interesting?.....

I afterwards became impaled by my roommates lipstick. I began varying the quantities of Red, Yellow, and White. I used a broad paintbrush to begin painting, even though the colors came out just way I intended them to. I had tried using lengthy strokes and adding several more coats of paint. I had no idea that the color would become darker after drying because this was a new method for me. I made an effort to paint the sheet as much as I could to achieve a smooth, unblemished appearance and then I let it dry.

 Belinda, our professor, invited us to sit in a circle the following day and discuss the colors we chose and why we chose them. The task's primary goal was to examine how placing two colors next to one another alters their relationship.

In order to create an attractive pattern, we had to arrange colored sheets in various sizes and shapes to construct patterns that are acceptable to the sight. Eventually, we were divided up into a few groups, and the sheets were divided up into three equal portions. The group found the entire procedure to be quite interesting. To produce a better result, everyone worked really effectively together. My group and I created an abstract of the sunset in Portsmouth. We started by placing the sheets in the correct order for the image, and then we began taping them together with masking tape to form one continuous piece. The final stage, where we all carried it to stick, was quite interesting. Our collective strength was evident there, I think. The three assignments that were provided to us were all highly educational and challenged our preconceived notions about how to use color to create meaningful artwork.

According to color theory, colors can arouse emotions. And this was the main thought I had after attending the color workshop. My housemates and I took a trip to Northend the day after the session. The first thing that drew my attention when we arrived at the destination was a building with external wall paneling that is a combination of several warm and contrast hues. The only standout structure at the crossroads was this one, just because of the multicolored paneling work on its exterior. 

We stopped at "Adventure Island," a theme park close to the water, on the way home. With a variety of thrilling fun rides, the entire space was packed. I went to a place where people exchanged feelings and spent time looking for joy and contentment. An amalgam of delight, terror, happiness, eagerness, and exhilaration... I observed that each ride's use of brilliant colors is what draws people in. Imagine if all of the rides were painted either black or white?..... The environment could have changed drastically.

The sun then appeared, bringing with it powerful light beams. My spirit was loving the rides with impulsive movements, and my intellect was brimming with lively energy. Once after I first saw the sun, all of my feelings and moods turned into ones of calmness and relaxation. I began breathing in the chilly breeze slowly. My thoughts began to gradually calm down and become serene. The sun's beams are dispersed around the sky as it begins to go dark. I noticed everyone's faces to be expressions of silence, joy, and optimism for the future.

                                              I have different feelings.

            Sometimes it's hard to talk about them to people, so I use colors.

                                I feel green when I have a lot of energy.

                  Green reminds me of the soccer games I played at Crocker.

           These games made me really happy, because I would score goals.

                          Other times when I had an ok day, I feel gray.

                           I feel gray sometimes after a long day of school.

                    Gray like the clouds that form in the sky before a thunderstorm.

                            When I get mad, I feel like the color red.

                                  I get mad when I lose a game on FIFA.

                        This red is like lava coming out of an erupting volcano.

                            Finally, I sometimes feel gold when I'm really happy.

                    I get this feeling when I scored goals on our games.

                                     It made me feel like I won the world cup.
