The term value has many meanings. I recently came across a new meaning: the degree. In painting class, we were told to make a certain panel of colors. All of the colors were relatively the same, but their value was different. I was only given a basic mixing set and told to make colors I had no clue even existed. I found myself resorting back to elementary ways and mixing yellow and blue to make green. I soon began to conceive the idea there is more. If I wanted to make a dark forest green I couldn't just mix blue and yellow, I had to add more. Adding other colors to my bright green suddenly made the perfect dark forest green, just like in life adding certain aspects to a daily routine can make it just how you want it. Value as the word degree inspires me. There are so many ways to make something matter, but the degree to which you do that is what counts.
