Seeing Colours Like Monet

Welcome to Creative Connections. Today’s connection begins with Claude Monet standing in front of something very ordinary: a haystack. Then it moves to a cathedral façade. Then to a winter walk under a vivid blue sky. Then to a summer field where the tips of tall grasses seem to blush red against a wash of grey-green. At first these things might seem completely unrelated. A painting. A walk. A field.  But they’re not unrelated at all. They’re all part of the same story: how light changes colour, and how the eye and brain turn that changing light into the world we think we see.
