Symbolism of Color

There is one boy in our class who picks a favorite topic and talks about it for two months till he moves onto the next thing. These days it’s pirates. During our lesson today, we taught about the words of Jesus being a treasure map that leads back to Heaven. Of course Ben (the pirate kid, whose name may or may not have ben changed to protect the innocent) was very interested as soon as he heard the word treasure. During the coloring part of the class, Ben was coloring his tresure chest and explained to me why he picked the colors he did: “brown is for treasure chest, black is for evil, and red is for bloodyyyyyyyy!” And yes, he did hold out the -ie- sound of bloody. It was funny.
