The line of choice for Ligon 's work is the outline. Underneath all the vibrant colors, are outlines of kids playing basketball, people, a fence, a house, some letters, Harriet Tubman, a butterfly, and a strange looking woman. This piece has nothing but bright and bold colors. The colors Ligon uses are colors straight from the rainbow. The only dark
28). In terms of color and depth, there are two main colors that I sensed and selected in the image, purple and emerald green. Both of these colors are distinct and have symbolic meaning within them. “Emerald green connotes versatility and ingenuity” (Lester, 2014, p. 19). Purple also has significant meaning as it can represent “power and ambition” (Bourn, 2016).
Ethan Frome by Edith Wharton tells the tale of a man named Ethan Frome, his wife, Zeena Frome, and his secret lover, Mattie Silver. Ethan finds himself conflicted over his new-found infatuation with Mattie. The story proceeds on with the struggle between Ethan, Mattie, and Zeena. The introduction of Wharton’s New England by Barbara White discusses how the wintery setting of New England makes the setting more isolated and adds despair. The excerpt also gives insight into how the wintery setting helped to form the story of the book.
The book uses short sentences and different colour schemes to help the reader understand the theme of the book, and pictures to help the reader emphasize with the Numbats. The colour scheme of The Rabbits is very distinct and helps readers to understand the feelings of the Numbats. The book starts off with rather bright colours, showing that the invasion by the rabbits is not apparent, and that the numbats do not feel too bad about the rabbits yet. Later in the book, the colour scheme becomes darker, as if the numbats are shrouded in darkness, and the pictures don’t seem as bright, showing that the invasion is now well on its way, and that the numbats are scared.
There are many literary devices used across stories. Color imagery is one of these literary devices that is used when colors give objects a symbolic meaning. In the short story “St. Lucy’s Home for Girls Raised by Wolves” by Karen Russell, girls who have been raised as wolves are thrust into the unknown as they are forced to adapt to human society. Their childhood was spent living with wolves, however they are taken in by nuns of St. Lucy’s who attempt to assimilate them into the human world through different phases. Throughout the story, color imagery is used to emphasize the key theme of unity, establish the conflicted tone, and metaphorically develop Claudette’s character.
Eliezer “Elie” Wiesel has gone through thick and thin. Wiesel is a noted Holocaust survivor. He, at the time, was only 15 when he was taken away from his little Jewish community. While he was in concentration camps, many family members were killed. Despite all the horrific events that he faced, Wiesel was rescued and brought to safety.
The image is mesmerizing: The small, sleepy town of Starkfield, shrouded in a blanket of gently falling snow, is lit up by the rosy reds and the bright yellows of the morning sun. The snow glows and sparkles in the light as the sun rises higher and higher in the sky. However, the protagonist, Ethan Frome, often doesn't recognize the beautiful scenery and instead, sees the dreariness of the town, mirroring his equally bleak life with his wife, Zeena. As Ethan falls in love with Mattie, his house maid, he becomes more aware of the radiant world around him. In Ethan Frome, author Edith Wharton often uses colors to depict Mattie's growing influence on Ethan.
In the story Richard Connell uses imagery to describe the setting. ¨Jagged crags appeared to jut into the opaqueness.¨(Connell, 218) Throughout his writing he includes descriptions that make the reader imagine what the feelings that the characters have are. He says ¨It's like moist black velvet¨(Connell, 215) The imagery that he uses brings the reader into the story and connects them to the setting and describes and appeals to their senses in a way that makes the feel as though they are there.
I remember walking into the expansive room in the Arkansas Art Center and just staring at Duck, Duck, Noose.

Color can mean so much more than shades and tints, it can show true meaning and emotion. It's proven that warm colors trigger thoughts of happiness, energy, and optimism.

Everyone has a favorite shirt, they adore the way the color complements their skin tone or 1their hair or eyes. Maybe the shirt is even their favorite color, or a mix of colors. Since people have been wearing clothes, painting pictures, or decorating their homes and objects; colors have been involved. The blending of dyes and the mixing of pigments creates beautiful patterns and expresses people’s personalities and emotions. The use of color plays a big part in the story The Great Gatsby by F.
