Santa Maria High School

Santa Maria is the largest town in Santa Barbara County. It's a pretty nice town.This town likes to use the local Spanish designs for architecture. It does make for some nice looking buildings with a lot of color and nice architectural design elements.A good design like this gives lots of interest to a building, even the movement of the sun along the building, shadowing some spots while it reveals others to the light gives levels of interest.The contrast of colors, at once jarring and glaring can also be blended together into a palette of colors- arranged as on canvas to form contrast and textural elements into what would otherwise be a boring box structure, suitable only for shielding the body from the elements, and not instead turning shelter into art.There are many creatures that build nests, line holes dug into the sand with grasses, or otherwise construct devious and clever living shelter... but it seems to be Man alone that sees fit to design the utilitarian into a piece of art to live in.
