Okay, so let me tell you about this little project I just finished up. It all started because I stumbled upon this quote: “Mrs. DuVernay loves the color red.” Sounds simple enough, right? But it got me thinking, what’s the big deal with red, and why does Mrs. DuVernay dig it so much? I decided to dive in and find out.
Starting Simple
First things first, I wanted to get a feel for who this Mrs. DuVernay is. Turns out, she’s Ava DuVernay, a pretty big-shot director and filmmaker. I read somewhere that she’s known for breaking barriers for women in the film industry. That’s cool and all, but I was more interested in this red obsession.
Digging Deeper
So, I started looking into what red means. I found a bunch of stuff. Some folks say red is an intense color that gets people all riled up. Others mentioned it makes you stand out, like a balloon, but it can also make you feel like you don’t fit in. This was getting interesting.
Ava’s Red
Then I started focusing on Ava specifically. I saw this one thing about her showing up at the 2017 Academy Awards, and people were saying that the fashion on the red carpet sometimes has deep meanings. Could Ava’s love for red be one of those deep things? I felt like I was onto something.
Putting It Together
- Researching Ava: I spent a good chunk of time learning about Ava DuVernay’s work.
- Exploring Red: I read up on the psychology of colors, specifically red.
- Connecting the Dots: I started to see how Ava’s bold choices and the boldness of red might be connected.
I started to piece together this idea that maybe Ava’s love for red isn’t just about a favorite color. Maybe it’s about standing out, being bold, and making a statement. I mean, she’s all about feminism and multiculturalism in her movies, and red kinda screams all of those things, right?
My Takeaway
This whole thing turned into a fun little exploration of how a simple statement can lead to a bunch of cool discoveries. I started with a quote about a lady liking red, and ended up thinking about art, psychology, and even social issues. Not too bad for a casual deep dive, huh? This is why I like to do what I am doing, and share what I had done with you guys. Hope you enjoy it.
