"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frighten us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people will not feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone and as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give others permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." -- Marianne Williamson, from her book A Return To Love: Reflections on the Principles of A Course in Miracles (1992)

COLLAGE


This is our in class assignment for COLOR.
 Use COLLAGE to create two abstract compositions:



  • high hue contrast, low value contrast


For my first collage...
I call this one,

My Crush's Profile

Reason being...it's what I saw after pushing the pieces of paper to the side.
If you see it the way I do,
his hair is green, he's wearing purple shades,
and he's facing to the left.
He's a pretty cool but quiet dude.
But when he speaks,
his words are simple and yet profound in meaning.
He can be real silly and funny. But when it is needed,
he speaks the words that matter


  • high value contrast, low hue contrast

This one, I can see an eye.
And a very inquiring one, this eye.
The eye that sees, and is seen.
The so-called window to the soul
that speaks buckets that words may be able to try to express
but cannot freely be stated in the moment.




Looks are deceiving...

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder...

But I'd say...

We project meaning into things

though they don't necessarily coincide all the time...

That's why it's never an option to assume...

Like my other favorite saying,


It's not right to give something a different color!!!


Be on the same page and always confirm.


ME NO MIND-READER!!!
