What inspires me this week?

In my spanish class we were given an assignment where we have to make our own day of the dead alter. With this assignment i had to look up some background on the day of the dead. This really started to inspire me. Usually I only want to do work that is in black and white. I am not a big fan of color, but with this assignment it has opened my eyes to the mexican culture. Everything they do is full of color. even though in the U.S. we see death as a time of mourning, in Mexico they see it as a time of celebration. They show this with the day of the dead by using many bright colors. The thing about the day of the dead that is inspiring me this week is the sugar skulls. They are filled with so much color and they are so intricate with detail every single one is different. It really has inspired me to mix together colors that I normally would not. Maybe for a change it would be refreshing to use color.....
