Who is Roy G. Biv?

September 23, 2008 · 2 Comments

Fly-Buzz by LisaRivas

Color is the visible manifestation
of light’s wavelength.
Roy G. Biv is a mnemonic*
for the sequence of hues in
the visible spectrum, in rainbows,
and in order from longest
to shortest wavelength:

Red, Orange, Yellow, Green,

Blue, Indigo and Violet.

White light contains all colors, a “PRISM” can divide the colors and make them appear!

 “Prizm Buzz” e-Stamp
• fused glass – illustration printed as an archival pigment print, 100% rag paper

Combining image layers with different blending modes,
in graphic applications will have similar “visible spectrum” effects!

*Mnemonic is something intended to assist the memory, as a verse or formula. 


Mnemosyne the name of the goddess of memory in Greek mythology.
Zeus and Mnemosyne slept together for nine consecutive nights and thereby created the nine Muses.

Art Statement

When I take the time to look and to really see and to apply my "foolish" imagination, there are worlds within worlds within worlds to be discovered.
