Orange and Yellow

Mark Rothko

Today we discussed Mark Rothko's painting (Orange and Yellow)  and how it depicts creativity.  All too often we place our students in a box and block their creativity instead of  producing something they think we “want”.  We would get so much more if we let them explore and create their own work without setting limits.  When we foster creativity anything is possible.  Rothko allows the observer to create the experience without being confined to one idea.
