Color is one of the most important things in our society
But also the most commonly overlooked parts.
In a typical day we don't think about the symbolism of colors that tell us to stop, go, be happy or feel sad.
It is in art that some of this lack of attention to the colors around us is undone.
When people look at art, they examine the colors with meaning to draw more from the work.
All of a sudden these things we become so oblivious to usually are in the front of our mind, giving weight to a piece to provide a sense of balance (or lack there of).
What I find most interesting are color combinations such as complimentary or split complimentary.
They seem somewhat strange to me, to why these colors work so well together just because in a circle they lay across of each other.
Color is an amazing thing and it is a shame that it has to be used in art to be noticed, when art draws these colors from the world around us.
