Greening the Color Wheel
Although each of the colors in the color wheel has its own magic, they all look good in green--the green of environmental activism that is. There's been so much green everywhere lately you'd think St. Patrick's day never ended. Some, like Thomas Friedman in his influential book Hot, Flat and Crowded, call green the new red, white and blue.
So how can art get in on this global green? How does art prove a mechanism for social change and patriotic ideas? And what is green--the purely formal, chorophantastic secondary color in all its nuances--all about?
This blog thinks technology is one answer, balanced with hands on experiences in service and projects based learning. Greening the Color Wheel is here as a resource for art teachers, but can also be useful for anyone curious about art, nature, and our rapidly shrinking global community.
