The Primary Colors Are The Best Ways To Consume Art

I don't really think anyone likes the secondary colors that much anyway.

The Primary Colors Are The Best Ways To Consume Art
Angelina Sakkestad

Remember back in elementary school art class when you learned the color wheel?

It was always in art class that I had the most fun. I always envisioned myself becoming a famous artist, one who would have their artwork hung as examples in other art classes like mine.

As I got older, I eventually learned that my daydreams of being an artist were really quite futile. I knew where my traces and coloring abilities laid, and I was okay with that.

That doesn't mean I ever stopped appreciating art. No, it was when I discovered how much I loved writing that I realized I could make art with my words. I could create this visual worlds in the imagination of readers.

I could write about the art I silently appreciated so much. While this isn't a "Starry Night" by Vincent Van Gogh, I have always appreciated the primary colors to be art in just combination.

Think about it. These three colors are the gods of the color world. They are creation, regulation, and destruction. An extra dash or addition of one can make or break a color.

Add a dash of red to green and it's ruined. Add an extra drop of yellow and you have the perfect intermediate color in your sunset. These colors are glorious in their flexibility.

The primary colors are just the right amount of different from each other that by combining them, say in fashion, it can be revolutionary.

Take an outfit that is all black; shoes, shirt, pants, everything. Now, replace the shirt with a true blue sweatshirt. Top it with a yellow denim jacket. Throw on a pair of red tennis shoes.

Add a nude lip if you'd like; the warmer the color, the more it'll bring out the red shoes. Want to use a lip that has blue undertones? Fantastic! It'll make the sweatshirt stand out.

The primary colors, especially when used in fashion, are my favorite ways to consume art. A combination of colors and pieces can create something revolutionary.

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer.

Bruce Springsteen's Top 7 Lyrics

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

You cannot beat the beach. Believe it or not (which many people may not), New England has a long and beautiful coastline. Most of my high school summers were spent sitting on the Wall at Hampton Beach, getting sunburnt and eating Acai bowls from The Secret Spot. The Wall was the place to be both during the day and at night. We begin our days there with a KB's bagel and coffee, and end them with pizza and ice cream. It’s not a New England summer without that 4 p.m. text from someone, “Who wants to meet at the Wall tonight?” Nighttime is for Tripoli’s Pizza, the sound of waves, and wishes on shooting stars. Wednesday nights are especially important, as those are the nights that Hampton Beach sets off the weekly firework display.
