Did you know that red is the first color that humans perceive, after black and white? It's the color that babies see first before any other, and the first that those suffering from temporary color blindness after a brain injury start to see again. Red's dominance is even reflected in how colors are defined: although different societies developed their names for colors at different times and in different ways, almost all of them named them in the same order. With only a few exceptions, the order of labelling colors was generally black first, white second, red third, and then green, yellow and blue.

Scientists have posited that societies developed names for colors according to which ones they had the strongest reaction to. This means that humans, supposedly much like bulls, have had strong feelings about the color red for thousands of years. Over time, red has come to symbolize power, love, vigor, and beauty. Do you want to know why? Take a journey with us through history to discover the surprising story of the world's most powerful color...

Red also made waves on the pre-historic art scene. Caves across the world, from Africa to Asia to Europe, bear traces made during the Paleolithic era. Drawings of animals, vessels, and people were made from painting red ochre on the cave walls, like this painting of a thylacoleo (an extinct species of lion) from the Djulirri rock art site in Northern Australia. More than 11,000 paintings have been found stretched over the site. Dated to 11,000 BCE, this naturalist animal painting may be the oldest surviving painting discovered there.

7. Raising Red Flags

World leaders have used red clothing as a way to showcase their power for hundreds of years. This portrait of Princess Elizabeth I before her accession as Queen shows a young woman preparing to assume her position as a powerful monarch. Her richly decorated red dress and red coif (close-fitting cap) send an unequivocal message of the young woman's political and moral strength. After the fall of the monarchy, the color red was then taken up by Revolutionaries around the world to symbolize new liberties and freedoms: from French Revolutionaries and their red phrygian caps, to the Bolshevik, Cultural, and Cuban Revolutions.

Courage, sacrifice, and love or anger, danger, and war? The color red can be associated with the happiest feelings as well as with the worst. Being the color that elicits the strongest reactions, it is no surprise that its symbolism can lie on both ends of the spectrum. So next time you're held up at a red stoplight (in this case the red is a symbol of danger), think about the color's revolutionary history (and maybe love too).

This visual arts lesson will allow students to get creative while practicing with either photography or videography. Students will also have to consider perspective from things outside themselves. Rubric included.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Objectives & Outcomes

The learners will create a photo array with narrative or a short video with sound sharing the perspective of an inanimate object. Students will be expected to be creative in both the verbal and artistic areas of the assignment.

Materials Needed

Cameras or video cameras for each student

Computers/printers for completion of the project (any appropriate video sharing platform or photo sharing program should work)

Procedure

Opening to Lesson

Begin by asking students to sit on the floor.

Ask students to think about the world from that perspective for a moment.

How do things look different, what may look strange to something at that level?

Now have students think about the world if they could only see from that position they are in, all day, every day, in the same spot.

Tell them this is part of their next project.

Body of Lesson

Explain to students that they will choose an inanimate object in the building or at their home to photograph or use for the video project.

The first shot will be of the actual object, but all other photos or video shots will be from the perspective of the object.

Additionally, commentary will be offered about how the object may think about the world.

This is a lesson in personification.

Closing

Have students share completed videos or photo arrays with commentary.

Assessment & Evaluation

Students will follow directions to create a photo array with narrative or a short video with sound sharing the perspective of an inanimate object. Students will be expected to be creative in both the verbal and artistic areas of the assignment. Create a rubric based on any specific outcomes you want achieved. A sample rubric is attached.

Modification & Differentiation

Allow students extra time or to work in a group as needed.
