Who are The Blue Blues?
We’re a nonprofit website designed by a group of girls who wished to give children the resources to learn about art and music history. When budget cuts are in place, sports, the visual arts, and the preforming arts are usually the first to be cut. Even when both are being funded, art classes and preforming art classes are underfunded and under supported in schools, and both fail to teach the history of the subject. We want to provide children with a foundation in order to inspire them to learn more.
Why the Blue Blues?
If Picasso had a blue period, we can too. Blue is an important color, used to convey emotions, both happy and sad.
It’s scientifically proven to be a calming color.
Blues as a genre of music is emotional and rich with history.
Art and music are both heavily influenced by the blues, whether it be the color or the genre, and we’re influenced by art and music.
