Historical Note For the first years of the University of Chicago, there was considerable ambiguity as to its colors. In 1892, a committee of trustees recommended orange and grey as the university's colors, but only the color orange was officially adopted. However, this decision was far from final. Not only did the use of orange upset Syracuse University, it clashed with University of Chicago students' tradition of using gold as the university color. Complicating this was the use of many different shades of orange and gold in different combination at student events.

  • Foreword Shades of Yellow
    Carol Kapuscinsky Foreword Shades of Yellow It is fitting that Carol Kapuscinsky is presenting us with a body of works entitled, Shades of Yellow. I cannot imagine a more suitable colour for Carol considering the words that best describe her personality would undoubtedly include bright, sunny, cheery and warm. All words embodied by yellow. Yet, the significances of this pigment are far more reaching in her life. Having spent her early childhood in Peru and then most of her developing years in Winnipeg, yellow has played a pivotal role in her life. Whether it was the majesty of the sunflower or the dominance of a prairie field, the presence of this colour was a constant force in her life. Further of course, as a painter, colour is crucial to Carol's work. It is through her honed observational skills, her wealth of experience and her spiritual relationship with the land, that she is able to offer such beautiful and emotionally powerful paintings. Within these skills, her ability to see and create compelling and living colours is critical. Carol's process begins with first-hand experience of the landscape and documenting it. Then she labours over a composition for each canvas. But it is the next steps, those that include the layering of paint and the creating of rich, deep tones that mark the magic and singularity of Carol's paintings. Beginning almost in abstraction, Carol lays forms of colours, one upon another, until the details emerge. In Shades of Yellow, the focus then becomes the unavoidable yellow, which may depict a canola field, or a patch of flowers or may simply be how the light turns the scene golden.

  • City of Orange Historic Context Statement
    City of Orange Historic Context Statement Prepared by Chattel Architecture, Planning & Preservation, Inc. Prepared for P&D Consultants for the City of Orange General Plan Update Revised November 2006 City of Orange Historic Context Statement Introduction and Methodology This historic context statement for the City of Orange (hereinafter “city” or “Orange”) is a synthesis of existing documentation and new research. The city currently contains two historic districts listed on the National Register of Historic Places (National Register) – The Plaza Historic District (Plaza District, listed in 1982) and the Old Towne Orange Historic District (Old Towne National Register District, listed in 1997). The City also contains a locally designated Old Towne district (Old Towne Local District or Old Towne, established in 1981 and described in the current City Historic Preservation Element). Each of these three districts has different boundaries and histories, or historic context statements. The following updated historic context statement for Old Towne and selected areas outside of Old Towne combines these histories, in addition to other histories compiled by the City and the Orange Public Library, as well as original historic research performed by Chattel Architecture, Planning & Preservation, Inc. (Chattel Architecture) and its archaeological sub-consultant, PAR Environmental Services, Inc. (PAR). Chattel Architecture conducted research at the Orange Public Library, the Orange County Archives, the UCLA Air Photo Archives, the Fairchild Aerial Photo Collection at Whittier College, and the Los Angeles Public Library. Additional general historical information comes from Phil Brigandi’s Orange: The City ‘Round the Plaza, and information on the Cypress Street Barrio comes from the Shades of Orange event held in Orange on June 4, 2005 and interviews with members of the Orange Barrio Historical Society.

Benson University of Massachusetts Amherst Follow this and additional works at: https://scholarworks.umass.edu/art_jbgc Benson, J.L., "Greek Color Theory and the Four Elements [full text, not including figures]" (2000). Greek Color Theory and the Four Elements. 1. Retrieved from https://scholarworks.umass.edu/art_jbgc/1 This Article is brought to you for free and open access by the Art at ScholarWorks@UMass Amherst. It has been accepted for inclusion in Greek Color Theory and the Four Elements by an authorized administrator of ScholarWorks@UMass Amherst. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Cover design by Jeff Belizaire ABOUT THIS BOOK Why does earlier Greek painting (Archaic/Classical) seem so clear and—deceptively— simple while the latest painting (Hellenistic/Graeco-Roman) is so much more complex but also familiar to us? Is there a single, coherent explanation that will cover this remarkable range? What can we recover from ancient documents and practices that can objectively be called “Greek color theory”? Present day historians of ancient art consistently conceive of color in terms of triads: red, yellow, blue or, less often, red, green, blue. This habitude derives ultimately from the color wheel invented by J.W. Goethe some two centuries ago. So familiar and useful is his system that it is only natural to judge the color orientation of the Greeks on its basis. To do so, however, assumes, consciously or not, that the color understanding of our age is the definitive paradigm for that subject.

  • Traditional Color Coding for Land Uses Color Coding Schemes
    Traditional Color Coding for Land Uses by Sanjay Jeer, AICP with Barry Bain, AICP American Planning Association December 13, 1997 DRAFT Land-use maps are the most common way of presenting land-based data. They show land- uses by rendering them in different colors. They effectively illustrate land-use concepts by graphically displaying land-uses, roads, public infrastructure, and community facilities. Planning agencies have been using one color scheme since the 1950’s that has become a defacto standard. This standard is also being frequently recommended to planners across the country. The following is a survey of this and other traditional coloring schemes. Maps generally use a different color for each of the major land-use categories. For example, it is common to render: · Yellows for residential uses such as single-family and town houses. · Browns for multi-family and high-rise residential · Reds for retail and commercial uses · Purples for industrial uses · Blues for institutional and public facilities · Greens for recreational uses · Grays for industrial utilities The above primary and secondary colors generally serve basic land-use maps that do not have complex land-use categories. When they do, it is common to find additional colors in shades closer to secondary and tertiary colors. Beyond this traditional color scheme, systems vary widely on how many colors to show on a map and which colors denote what land uses. Because some colors are close to others and easily discernible, elaborate coding schemes also specify the appropriate Prisma color number (Prisma Color is the trade name and manufacturer of popular color pencils).
