.

·  It is a primary color · Its related shape is the triangle · Christians relate it to the truth · Egyptians relate it with happiness and prosperity · In soccer it means warning · It symbolizes someone with a creative, young, light weight, coward, expanding, nutritious, curious, playful, bright, cheerful personality.

My favorite color is yellow. It is one of the three primary colors and the figure that represents it the best is the triangle. Yellow is one of my favorite colors, basically because it is bright; in fact, when I feel down, wearing something yellow usually cheers me up, which is one of the qualities of this color. There are some other good qualities that define this color, or maybe that define a person who likes it, like imaginative, happy, friendly, confident and energetic. There are also negative qualities, like defeated, hazardous and cautious (that can actually be good). These qualities perfectly define me, which I find very curious and interesting because I had never stopped to think about them till now! For the people of my religion, the Christians, yellow represents the truth, but I have to accept that it can also represent happiness and prosperity, which is an Egyptian thought. In conclusion yellow is an active color, which represents, for me, the sun, the light, happiness. When I think about something yellow I think about joy and good mood. That is the reason for my choice, and that is why I like to always carry something yellow with me that reminds me that there are millions of reasons for being happy!!! media type="file" key="Color podcast.wav" width="300" height="50"

YELLOW SCENE!

Word to represent: Sunshine



In this picture, we can see a perfect day with a huge sun that makes it shine. In the front, there is a friend helping to other to climb the tree, which represents the “true friend” and “playful” qualities. In the back there is another yellow person flying with the help of a balloon, and this represents the imaginative and creative part of the yellow personalities.

I think color is extremely important in architecture because it can distract or get the viewer´s attention to a specific place. Color is a very useful tool for an architect because he or she can use it for the distinction of planes, levels and even the uses of different spaces. With color, two intersected volumes can be seen as what they are, which is not the same as a unique volume. This is just a small amount of things an architect can do with color, and with time I will be learning more of them until I can exploit all the color’s advantages !
