Mesoamerican artists held a cosmic responsibility: as they adorned the surfaces of buildings, clay vessels, textiles, bark-paper pages, and sculptures with color, they (quite literally) made the world. The power of color emerged from the materiality of its pigments, the skilled hands that crafted it, and the communities whose knowledge imbued it with meaning. Color mapped the very order of the cosmos, of time and space. By engineering and deploying color, artists wielded the power of cosmic creation in their hands. We Live in Painting: The Nature of Color in Mesoamerican Art explores the science, art, and cosmology of color in Mesoamerica. Histories of colonialism and industrialization in the “color-averse” West have minimized the deep significance of color in the Indigenous Americas. This exhibition follows two interconnected lines of inquiry—technical and material analyses, and Indigenous conceptions of art and image—to reach the full richness of color at the core of Mesoamerican worldviews.

My mom, youngest brother Luke &amp; I went here for the first time Summer of 2012 to celebrate my 8th grade graduation. I discovered this park because I grew up going to Six Flags St. Louis with my parents, friends, &amp; Luke as my home park frequently since I was about 8 years old &amp; became more of a thrill seeker first with SFSTL, then Six Flags Great America, and I  used to go on the Six Flags website because I was curious about seeing parks in other states &amp; seeing what kind of rides the other parks had to offer &amp; discovered Six Flags Magic Moutain as I was browsing &amp; thought this park looked like so much fun, which it really was! My mom took my youngest brother Luke to meet the Looney Tunes characters &amp; Hurricane Harbor waterpark since he wasn&#39;t tall enough yet to go on the major thrill rides while I went on lots of amazing rollerocasters with Val, someone who used to babysit for us whenever she was able to. We stayed at a Hilton Garden Inn right across the street from the park, took a picture of X2 which could be seen from our hotel, palm trees in the parking lot, &amp; our elevator had Looney Tunes characters on it which made the Hilton Garden Inn Unique! My dad was also excited for us because Six Flags Magic Mountain is the park featured in his favorite movie, National Lampoon&#39;s Vacation &amp; is only about an hour and 40 minutes from Santa Monica beach! Six Flags Magic Mountain is located in Valencia, California.

Santa Monica State Beach

Beaches and shores

Santa Monica Beach, a gem set in the California sun, caressed the heartstrings of every traveler with its endless charm. It is like a delicate watercolor painting, slowly spread on the vast Pacific Ocean, a mile long golden sand beach, under the sunset glow of warmth and softness. Here, every fine sand seems to carry the story, and every wave of the light is the whisper of nature. Walking along this romantic coastline, you can feel time as if it has slowed down, people forget the hustle and bustle, and indulge in this tranquility and beauty. Santa Monica Beach is not only a breathtaking landscape, but also a vibrant and fun paradise. From the first rays of sunshine in the morning to the low-hanging stars at night, whether it is the passion challenge of surfers or the dream castle that children build on the beach, it constitutes a unique landscape. The historic Santa Monica pier, like a kind old man, quietly waited for the sea. As night fell, the bright lights on the Ferris wheel and the stars reflected, as if leading people into a dreamy fairy tale world. The surrounding area, the wisdom and tranquility of the chess park, the splendor and leisure of the Palisade Park, all add endless cultural heritage and natural charm to this beach. Santa Monica Beach, a place that people yearn for, it uses beauty and romance to weave the most tender memories in the hearts of every visitor.
