What color is more representative of spring than YELLOW?
In color theory, Yellow is a primary color, but like red it was one of the first colors to be mastered by humans. Yellow iron oxide (yellow ochre) was used in the most famous cave paintings and petroglyphs in the world.
Yellow is also deeply symbolic. It is the color of sunshine, happiness and optimism, enlightenment and creativity. But on the dark side it can also symbolize cowardice, betrayal, and pestilence.
Join Chris for a tour of yellow through the ages of art, followed with demonstrations using different pigments of this featured color, YELLOW. From organic oxides and cow urine to tin, lead, and cadmium based yellow pigments.
