Clowns.

Clowns scared people and makes some laugh. Does the fact that they are covered in bright color have anything to do with it? I think so because there are a lot of reds and bright yellows, and rainbow colors everywhere on them. I think the colors overwhelm people and thats why people get scared. Clowns commonly put red around their mouths to make their smile stand out more. The colors are also in patterns all around their clothes that may have something to do with why people are afraid of them. I think people just can't handle all the color and the shapes and their minds reject that. There is also the fact that clowns are happy all the time... and that's not right either.

Wow. Color. Water.

Due to an intense and devastatingly depressing month I chose to change my project to fill glasses with different color. It still runs along the lines of our previous project, but instead of painting the picture I arranged the glasses I filled with color in an interesting manner. At first I mixed the color in the glasses and then poured water into it. After the first set of glasses I had to mix all the colors previously to adding the water because when I just tried to mix the water I just wouldn't get the desired color. I also had trouble with spilling the water and keeping the glasses clean. I wanted the pictures to look really nice and they didn't really end up that way because, well, I'm not a photographer. I wish they turned out better. After I had finished everything I looked back and thought for a second that it might have been a really dumb idea. But, well, I can't necessarily say it was a dumb idea because I met all the requirements technically, and I think it looks pretty cool so I guess it isn't that lame.I related everything to how drinking and depression and the color blue are all related.

Neon.

Jake was talking about how you make neon colors and I decided to look that up. Neon itself is a element on the periodic table. Discovered when chilled atmosphere is condensed into a liquid and it's boiled gas is neon. It was discovered in 1898 by Scottish chemist William Ramsay (1852 - 1916) and English chemist Morris W. Travers in London, England. Neon is being very rare on Earth, is only found in the Earth's atmosphere. "It is industrially produced by cryogenic fractional distillation of liquefied air."-http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neon the light that is given off is called neon light and is used in signs. Cool. As for neon being in paint, I couldn't find out how they do that, im sure they don't put gas in the paint, because that wouldn't work. Or would it...

no one knows more about color that the chameleon... watch this... (slightly irrelevant)
