Europe was chosen as the continent most would like to visit. Europe has many wonderful countries to explore with lots of life and history. Color is used in cultures all around the world as a way to communicate and tell their story. Different colors have a special significance or meaning that play a major role in its history, arts, traditions and lifestyles. Greece for example uses colors that are influenced by their mountains, clear skies, sunsets, and eye catching coast lines. Did you know that the Parthenon was actually the contrary to how we think of it today? The Parthenon was very colorful with bold blues, reds, and gold but over time these colors faded. It’s surprising to find out that the Parthenon was colorful but why do you think that was? These colors are often seen in the Greek culture to show power or high significance, but the color blue is cherished. It is perceived as a color that wards off evil and of protection. You will currently find their beloved color in their pure white homes with blue accents that surround the cost, their art and architecture, open Ocean, and flag. Each country may use and perceive colors differently but that’s what makes each country unique and fun to explore. Take a look
at these collages I made on different countries and let the colors introduce you to their story.
