My daughter is getting married in a few weeks, and weddings are a good time to remember your art skills. We use art for everything. What color should the bridesmaids wear; remember, it must coordinate with the groomsmen and the bride's dress. My daughter choose a red dress to be married in. So the dresses must work well with red. But not just red, a deep cranberry red. Light green wouldn't work well, nor orange. What were those analagous colors again?
Working with a flower arrangement means finding colors that not only fit the theme, but again go well with the dress choices and each other.
What colors will the tablecloths be? How shall we decorate the hall? The gazebo? Should they be symmetrical or asymmetrical decorations?
How will we design the photography? The bride is a foot shorter than everyone else in the wedding party, totally out of proportion with the rest. What can we do to design a good composition?
What we learn in art class, we use over and over again in life. Composition, color, proportion, balance.... These skills make our lives easier and more self relient.
