:: colour - the beginning ::

in the beginning, there was light as the story goes. 
​
fast forward 1671 (or was it 1672?), a scientist you may know called Isaac Newton decided to shine a light in a prism. and voila he showed the spectrum of light - ROY G BIV.  :P

​i never became a scientist like a sir Isaac though i fancied myself to become one at some point when i was growing up. who doesn't? instead, i ended up being a marketer, of the digital kind. now, i'm reinventing myself as a sort of visual artists of the digital type. not much luck there, yet.

so i hit the books (wikipedia and google for me, thank you!) and started to learn the basics of art. colour and the theory around it seems to be the progeny of many art discourses. three points on color that i'm exploring now that will likely impact my art practice.

a. colour draws out emotions
b. colour is a symbolic system
c. colour can heal
