Walking on Sunshine

Choose a song with "yellow" in the title, like "Yellow" by Coldplay or "Mellow Yellow" by Donovan.

While it doesn’t explicitly say “yellow,” another fun choice would be "Walking on Sunshine.” You’ll often hear that catchy tune in movies, TV shows, and commercials, where it delivers a burst of lively, upbeat energy that’s hard to resist.

Explore the vibrancy, warmth, and positivity that the color yellow often brings. Or perhaps you have different associations with the color or would like to explore some different ideas:

  • In Indian culture, yellow is considered an auspicious color, often associated with purity, learning, and knowledge.

  • It’s associated with royalty and power in China.

  • In Africa, yellow symbolizes fertility and growth.

  • It’s also an old American slang term for calling someone a coward.

 

Steps:

  1. Select your song, and reflect on its qualities, key lyrical phrases, and imagery.

  2. Gather materials in shades of yellow, focusing on vibrant and sunny tones.

    • Incorporate imagery that represents light, warmth, or energy, such as the sun, flowers, or playful patterns.

    • Consider typically yellow objects such as bananas, sunflowers, turmeric, lemons, school pencils, and yield traffic lights.

  3. If you’re ‘walking on sunshine,’ consider creating a collage that radiates positivity, using bold shapes and perhaps some bright contrasting colors to capture the song’s joyful spirit.

  4. Consider adding dynamic elements, like rays of light or swirling patterns, to enhance the sense of movement and energy.
