We take it for granted, but it's ubiquitous in our everyday lives, and whether you're looking at it through the lens of art, science, or philosophy, color can be evocative. Full disclosure: I'm the mother of a toddler, and we're talking about color a lot in my house right now, as my daughter learns to identify and describe the world around her.
From the very basics of the color wheel and the rainbow, to the physics of how our eyeballs and brains process light, to the more abstract question of why colors can make us feel certain ways, there are loads of teachable ideas that start with color, for all ages. Check out my selection of videos that investigate the full spectrum.
