In my gallery, I framed an 8×10 sheet of paper of Color Descriptions I wrote at age 5. So many people have asked me for copies that I thought I’d share it on my blog. In the next few weeks, I will share my 12-year-old ideas about color. Since I won’t be looking at what others say about each color, don’t be surprised if my definitions are different.
Meet My Friends
Jordan Cook, Age 5
Red. Red shouts. Red is the color of Love. Red is snappy; Red is strong. Red is not afraid, and does not give up. No matter what, Red makes it happen. Red works hard, and is not shy. Red stays put.
Orange. Orange dances. Orange is playful, and likes to surprise me. Orange is fun and full of joy. Orange is like a picture colored in without spaces showing through. Orange is a back flip with a perfect landing.
Yellow. Yellow is warm and smooth, not rough. Yellow is the same all the time. Yellow is never cold or mean or sad; only light and happy. Yellow is a good friend who forgives.
Grean. Green isn’t ever tired or sleepy. Green keeps going until the same old thing turns into something else. Greeen makes things alive instead of dead. Greeen is the color of sprouting and growing. Green is everywhere.
Blue. Blue tiptoes. Blue is gentle, calm, quiet, and easy. Blue is light rain and heavy dark. Blue is peaceful and Blue is deep. Blue whispers to me.
Purple. Purple is king. Purple gives me everything I need and more. Purple is the richest, the deepest, and the best. Purple is Blue and Red all at once. Purple is big like mountains.
