Color have always been recognized for its symbolic power and an appreciation of this reaches back to ancient times. However, the understanding and interpretation of color symbolism has changed over time and varies from culture to country.

Red

PAUL GAUGUIN (1848-1903)
'Vision After The Sermon', 1888 (oil on canvas)

Red through its association with fire and blood is used to represent danger, anger and violence. For the same reason it is also associated with affairs of the heart: love and passion.

In Paul Gauguin's 'Vision after the Sermon', Jacob wrestles with the angel in a blood red field of spiritual battle, an apt metaphor for his internal struggle against the will of God.

Orange

MARK ROTHKO (1903-1970)
'Orange and Yellow', 1956 (oil on canvas)

Orange symbolizes creativity, change, energy and endurance. It is the color that represents Autumn. As a secondary color it combines elements of the colors used to mix it: the creative passion of red with the energy and joy of yellow.

Mark Rothko, the American abstract expressionist artist, encouraged viewers to stand close to his large paintings so that they became spiritually immersed in the experience of color. 'Orange and Yellow' is the door to an inferno of color with a radiant energy that invites the spectator to open their emotions to "a spiritual kinship with primitive and archaic art".

Yellow

VINCENT VAN GOGH (1853-1890)
'Sunflowers', 1889 (oil on canvas))

Yellow is the color of the sun - the life support for our planet. As such it has come to represent life, energy, happiness, hope and wisdom.

Vincent Van Gogh's 'Sunflowers' is painted almost entirely with yellow and without any shadows. It expresses the radiance of sunshine rather than giving us a detailed description of what the flowers look like. Van Gogh also uses yellow as the symbol of hope and friendship as the 'Sunflower' series was painted to welcome his friend Paul Gauguin to the Yellow House in Arles. Van Gogh painted two series of 'Sunflowers' between August 1888 and January 1889. This example is from the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam and is a copy of an earlier version which is in the National Gallery in London.

Green

PAUL CÉZANNE (1839-1906)
'The Bridge at Maincy', 1879 (oil on canvas)

Green, as the color of plants and grass, is the color of nature and all that is associated with health and growth. However, it is also used to represent more negative traits such as envy and inexperience.

Cézannes painting of 'The Bridge at Maincy' is a formal composition of horizontal, vertical and diagonal lines whose rigor is somewhat relieved by the curves of the bridge. What turns this steadfast structure into a woodland sanctuary is the myriad of greens which bathe the scene in a magical emerald light. Paul Cézanne called his paintings, 'constructions after nature''. He saw painting in abstract terms as the construction and arrangement of color on a two-dimensional surface. The composition was simply a vehicle to assist with the realization of this surface structure of pattern and color.

Blue

JAMES MCNEIL WHISTLER (1834-1903)
'Nocturne, Blue and Silver: Chelsea', 1871 (oil on wood)

Blue is the coolest and most calming of all the colors. As the color of the sky, it has been used since ancient times to represent heaven. In classical mythology, blue was the color associated with the gods, Venus and Jupiter. In Christianity, it becomes the symbol of the Virgin Mary as Queen of Heaven. As the color of the ocean, it is also suggests qualities like freshness, purity and hygiene.

The calmness of blue is seldom more visible than in this 'nocturne' of the River Thames by Whistler. The view is at twilight from Battersea looking across to Chelsea. The style is strongly influence by the Japanese art of 'ukiyo-e' which translates as 'pictures of the floating world'.

Purple

FYODOR ROKOTOV (1736-1808)
Catherine the Great (1780)

Purple is the color of royalty, wealth and power. In times past, purple dyes were rare and expensive. Only the rich and powerful could afford to wear clothes of this luxurious color.

Catherine II, known as Catherine the Great, supported the development of the arts, literature and education in Russia. Her personal art collection became the foundation of the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg. She is portrayed here wearing a gown of the finest purple silk draped with ermine robes, clothes worthy of her noble status.

Brown

VINCENT VAN GOGH (1853-1890)
'Shoes', 1888 (oil on canvas)

Brown is the color of earth, wood and stone. As such, it evokes craftsmanship and the great outdoors. It is also used to represent humility: a down to earth virtue.

Although this painting is from Vincent Van Gogh's later body of work which is noted for the brilliance of its color, he reverts to the darker palette of his earlier work to reflect the humility of the subject matter. These are the tired old shoes of a humble peasant. Van Gogh paints this image in rugged earthy browns to suggest the hardship of their owner's life and to pay respect to the dignity of manual labour.

Black

KÄTHE KOLLWITZ (1867-1945)
'The Widow', 1922-23 (woodcut)

Black and its association with darkness is used to represent death, evil, witchcraft, fear and mourning.

'The Widow' by Käthe Kollwitz is one of a series of prints from a portfolio called Kreig (War) which deals with the wretched human tragedy of World War 1. This is a desolate image of a grief stricken wife who is embracing the memory of her departed husband. Black is the only appropriate color for such a sad and distressing subject.

Grey

PABLO PICASSO (1881-1973)
'Goat Skull, Bottle and Candle', 1952 (oil on canvas)

Grey is the natural color of some metals and stone, but it also has some negative associations with the weather, boredom, decay and old age. Grey is a mixture of black (death) and white (peace) and is the color of ashes and dust. As such it is also associated with death and mourning.

'Goat Skull, Bottle and Candle' by Pablo Picasso is a modern 'Vanitas' still life - a traditional genre that addresses the idea of our mortality. Vanitas still lifes depicted objects that had a symbolic meaning: a skull as a symbol of death or a candle as the transient flame of life.

It is believed that this painting was inspired by the death of Nikos Beloyannis, the Greek resistance leader, who was executed for treason. Many thought that the charges of passing information to the Russians were simply a bogus excuse to get rid of one of the figureheads of the Communist Party of Greece (KKE). This incident gave rise to international protests which were supported by Picasso, calling for his release.

Picasso often painted in monochrome to heighten the emotional tone of his work. He is noted for his blue and rose periods as well as the unifying brown tones of analytical cubism. However, he seems to reserve painting in grey tones (grisaille) for his images of death and oppression: 'Guernica' (1937), 'The Charnel House' (c.1944-48), the Goya inspired 'Massacre in Korea' (1951) and 'Goat Skull, Bottle and Candle' (1952) which is, in essence, an elegy for Nikos Beloyannis.

White

KAZIMIR MALEVICH (1887-1935)
'Suprematist Composition: White on White ', 1918 (oil on canvas)

White and its association with light is used to represent peace, purity and goodness.

In 1915, the Russian artist Kazimir Malevich developed a geometric style of abstract art which he called Suprematism. He believed that pure abstract form had a spiritual power with an ability to open the mind to 'the supremacy of pure feeling' and there was no purer color for that purpose than white.

Noticing your breath will help you to calm down. Choose your favorite calming breath (like candle breath, humming bee breath, count to 5 breath etc) and practice for 10 breaths. Put your hand up to your mouth and notice how the air is cool when you breath in and warm as you breath out through your mouth.

Listen to the calming music and meditate for 10 minutes.
Focus on your breath.
Take a breath in and count 1, 2, 3. Breath out and count 1, 2, 3. Keep counting your breath.
If your mind is active and you have many thoughts it's ok, just bring your attention to your breath again.

This week we will be looking at the different music notes and their rests. When we play music, especially in a group, we have to take turns and play our notes correctly to form melodies. Just like we play our notes to the number of counts in music, we must also rest according to the number of counts in the rests. For example, a whole note has four counts, so you would play that note for four beats. In the same way, if you see a whole note rest, you rest for four beats before you start playing the notes again.

1. Watch the video from this link:

2. Pay close attention to the different types of notes and their matching rests.
3. Make a neat chart of the notes and their corresponding rests and send a picture of it to my email.

I hope you enjoy this activity.
