Black (student art + mini poem)

 

Jennifer’s “photo challenge” this week is the word BLACK – and of course I had to share an image of our black Labrador in the white snow (below).

 

I also wrote this little poem:

My favorite thing about black – is how it looks next to white.

The two together – make quite a sight.

And my favorite thing about white…  is how it looks next to black

When these two team up – there is such an impact!

Black and white together – make each other look better.

The contrast, the awe…. well they are the perfect pair –

Where two become one, while they keep their own flare!

Lastly, the beautiful black and white reminded me of one of my favorite art lessons from the ART room.

Once a year we used to “work with only black and white” to explore positive and negative space  – and to learn a little bit more about color theory (black is the absence of color and white is the blending of them all…).
