Colour Gamma: Adoption and Colour Theory


What is Colour gamma? And why should one apply colour theory to adoption?

 For visual arts, colour theory is the root and base of colour mixture and scheme; and explains basilar visual effects such as colour composition and matching. Mainly theorised by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and Johannes Itten. 

 An Italian saying recites - Not everything is one (white) or the other (black). When I use the term colour gamma, I mean choice ~ a range of opinions or experience. 

 Adoption has its own 'colour gamma'. It shouldn't be so hard to say that - Yes, colours matters! Diversity and freedom of speech matter and they need all colours. 

 Being the outcome of life experience, adoption is not binary, it is a complex but colourful index. Every adoption story matters, each with its own light and shadows.

In  my interpretation, here is the breakdown by level: the first level belongs to " Social Networks"  / Facebook, LinkedIn, Tumblr, Quora and  (rarely) Twitter the second level consists of " News Aggregators"  / National Newspap...

Adoptees: 3 Ways to Fight Isolation During Covid Lockdown!

Image
An adoptee knows what loneliness means. Besides, it's challenging to be left home alone with a humongous amount of time to think about life. If you are practising it (and you should!); COVID-19 self-isolation gives you that kind of mindset since we are all obliged to stay home with no other human contact or stuck with your roomy/partner/family.  I am an adoptee in isolation (in a 20mq place with a very chatting boyfriend and a lovely sometimes extremely annoying cat) and a participant to the Northwestern University | Social Media Marketing Specialization on Coursera. I decided to share three simple actions to put in use for this unforeseen - a more then a month in - situation based on two exciting pieces I’ve read on the subject.
