THE RAINBOW IN THE PALETTE by MANSI CHATURVEDI Pdf
If I could talk to you about anything, it could be so much about life. Do you see life as a spectrum of colours which enhances it everyday or adds value to it ? Do you see it as a blank page which is just filled with events? The palette called life just cannot be empty but is full of vibrant colours on a page with elaborate description of all that happens. The best colours are found on the palette of life. The artist is you and you need to decide which colour you would use where. It only takes a blank space to start and when we do it is the colours and strokes that matter most. Some might see it as a blank canvas waiting to be brought to life just by a stroke by an artist. We all draw differently and we all express differently. A picture drawn by one person will differ even if the other draws the same. We see things differently don’t we? But every stroke of the brush adds something to the canvas and so does everything you say or do. What if I call life a rainbow? A rainbow that is rare yet fills the day or moment with happiness. A rainbow which has only seven colours but together gives the plain blue sky a different look altogether. I am sure all of you have seen the arch of the rainbow. What if I say it is a smile from above. The one just there , who looks down at us puts this smile on our face, which if you see from his side, is correct in shape. A smile that tries to fit in as many as it can. The one above just watches us smiling at the rainbow. Rainbow , the colours that dance between the raindrops and the sunlight. Colours that are just that little moment that you get between the good times and bad. Colours that turn a dull moment to life. The colours that suddenly appear turning a gloomy day to a cheerful one. Yet this sight is rare and short lived and is caught by only a few who notice it. They either enjoy the sight of a rainbow alone or share it with others. So is life, either to be lived alone or with people around you. There might be moments of happiness that bring you together or moments that you need when you feel low. In both of these situations the people present with you are just like the rainbow. You might not meet them always but whenever they are present they add the smile to your face or give you strength in times when you need it most. The colours are reflections of your inner self. They depict the various moods, the feelings , the emotions that are within you. The same colour might speak a different language for each one of us. The way we behave, the way we do things in life or simply the way we dress shows the dominant colour that we carry with us that particular day. Colours have a language of their own which is interpreted differently by individuals. But the rainbow is there, just waiting for the rays of the sun to outshine the drops of rain that seem to suddenly come out of nowhere. These drops of rain might seem colourless but can beautifully bring out the vibgyor which everyone watches in awe. Let me help you see this beautiful life with the various colours of a rainbow. Let me bring in the rainbow , for you to smile as you read what I share with you.
Until the twentieth century, art history was, in the main, written by white men who tended to write about other white men. The idea that women in the West have always made art was rarely cited as a possibility. Yet they have - and, of course, continue to do so - often against tremendous odds, from laws and religion to the pressures of family and public disapproval. In THE MIRROR AND THE PALETTE, Jennifer Higgie introduces us to a cross-section of women artists who embody the fact that there is more than one way to understand our planet, more than one way to live in it and more than one way to make art about it. Spanning 500 years, biography and cultural history intertwine in a narrative packed with tales of rebellion, adventure, revolution, travel and tragedy enacted by women who turned their back on convention and lived lives of great resilience, creativity and bravery. This is a dazzlingly original and ambitious book by one of the most well-respected art critics at work today.
Change the way you see color forever in this dazzling collection of color palettes spanning art history and pop culture, and told in writer and artist Edith Young's accessible, inviting style.

Edith Young's forty color palettes and accompanying essays reveal the systems of color that underpin everything we see, allowing original and, at times, even humorous themes to emerge. Color Scheme is the perfect book for anyone interested in learning more about, or rethinking, how we see the world around us.

Author : David Lee Publisher : University of Chicago Press Page : 427 pages File Size : 52,5 Mb Release : 2010-09-03 Category : Science ISBN : 9780226471051
Though he didn’t realize it at the time, David Lee began this book twenty-five years ago as he was hiking in the mountains outside Kuala Lumpur. Surrounded by the wonders of the jungle, Lee found his attention drawn to one plant in particular, a species of fern whose electric blue leaves shimmered amidst the surrounding green. The evolutionary wonder of the fern’s extravagant beauty filled Lee with awe—and set him on a career-long journey to understand everything about plant colors. Nature’s Palette is the fully ripened fruit of that journey—a highly illustrated, immensely entertaining exploration of the science of plant color. Beginning with potent reminders of how deeply interwoven plant colors are with human life and culture—from the shifting hues that told early humans when fruits and vegetables were edible to the indigo dyes that signified royalty for later generations—Lee moves easily through details of pigments, the evolution of color perception, the nature of light, and dozens of other topics. Through a narrative peppered with anecdotes of a life spent pursuing botanical knowledge around the world, he reveals the profound ways that efforts to understand and exploit plant color have influenced every sphere of human life, from organic chemistry to Renaissance painting to the highly lucrative orchid trade. Lavishly illustrated and packed with remarkable details sure to delight gardeners and naturalists alike, Nature’s Palette will enchant anyone who’s ever wondered about red roses and blue violets—or green thumbs.
