Painting Colors

What happens if all color disappeared? Scientifically, I think that's impossible, but photographically, of course anything can happen. Here's a world where all the color vanishes and only paintbrushes can generate color. 

This is what you call the "most powerful paintbrush" in the world. Why? Because it has the power to bring color to America, starting off with the state that could be it's own country, California!!

Back in 6th grade, our english teacher assigned us something called a "what if", every Friday. The assignment was to write at least 8 sentences about "what if" something isn't the way it is today.
 While writing this post, I remembered I wrote something about no color, and happens to be, I wrote about colors not mixing. Here it is word for word, way back from 6th grade:

"What if colors wouldn't mix? If colors wouldn't mix, everything would be red, yellow, and blue. Paintings and clothes wouldn't be colorful. Kids would not have the chance to be colorful with colors. Art class would become drawing class. The unusual things would become very usual without different colors. People would try to find ways to make colors mix together. Rainbows wouldn't exist anymore. Instead, there would be re-yel-blu-bows. The world will soon look colorless after a while. People would start to get bored of these three colors." -Sayuri 12/2/2011 

Thanks to a little technology and photo-editing, I made these pictures black-and-white, and then erased the layer to expose the color underneath. Ironically, I wrote a "what if" about technology not existing as well

The Drive Past the Farm

In the pasture,
The mighty pasture, 
The grass grows tall tonight.
In the pasture,
The mighty pasture,
The grass grows tall tonight .
Oooooooooo

In the meadow,
The mighty meadow, 
The breeze chills us tonight. 
In the meadow, 
The mighty meadow, 
The breeze chills us tonight
Oooooooo


Old MacDonald had a farm,
ee-i-ee-i-o.
And on that farm there was a barn,
ee-i-ee-i-oo.
He grew food here,
He raised animals there,
Here some food, there animals,
Everywhere he went, oh!
Old MacDonald had a farm,
ee-i-ee-i-oo.

Old MacDonald left his farm,
ee-i-ee-i-oo.
And he left his farm in a big hurry,
ee-i-ee-i-oo.
He left his farm here,
 He left his farm there,
Here he left, there he left
Everywhere he left, oh!
Old MacDonald left his farm,
ee-i-ee-i-oo.

And once he left the grass stayed green
eeeee-i-eeeee-i-ooooo

What a quick and musical post, and excuse my inability to make-up good lyrics!
 The first section was to the tune of "The Lion Sleeps tonight" and the second section was to the tune of "Old MacDonald had a Farm". These pictures were actually taken while I was on a bus, surprisingly it's not blurry or shaky.

Throw back to old songs!!!
