1. Describe Color and its
effects on emotions. Use the appropriate vocabulary of color in your posting.
Color can be described as a function of light. Without the presence of light there can be no
color. Color has many different effects
on us as humans when pertaining to our emotions. Color comes in many different hues, shades,
and intensity to name a few. Through
many different forms of color we can enjoy a array of feeling and emotions when
viewing them. Some people are drawn to
certain colors and others react to certain colors in different ways. I am drawn to the color yellow, it reminds me
of sunflowers, sun and warmth. This
colors makes me happy.
2. What is a theoretical
aspect of color that most intrigues/fascinates you? Why?
It was interesting to learn that nothing has actual color in
it. All colors depend on the light and
color is reflected light rays. I also
found it interesting that on the color wheel (or just the colors in general)
reds, oranges, and yellows are considered to be the warm colors. I can see how they have been associated with
sunlight and fire. Yet on the other side
of the color wheel you have blue, green and violet that are considered cool
colors. These colors are associated with
sky, water and shade. Before this class,
I never really gave it much thought. I
knew that they were considered warm and cool colors but never linked them to
things in our everyday life. That was
cool to me and really brought more understanding to the color wheel. I like being able to take what I am learning
and linking it to something in my everyday life. I like how colors are incorporated with our
everyday life also. For example a
stoplight has red for stop and green for go.
Or a fire engine is red, like fire.
3. In the Color video, what
made the biggest impact on you in regards to color and it's effects on
emotions?
The biggest impact on me in regards to color and its effects
on emotions is how color is used to create an emotion within us. Whether bright colors of red and blues make
for a depressing or violent mood or subtle colors like creams and lighter
shades make for a more harmonious, happy mood.
Bold colors express strong emotions and finding the right match of
colors can cause a pleasing effect on the artist and the audience viewing the
art. Feeling come through art in the
form of shapes and colors, and it is these feeling that creates these artworks. I remember when painting my first child’s
bedroom I read an article on what colors you should not paint in a child’s room
because it is those colors that will provoke certain behaviors in the
child. Yellow definitely was on that
list of do not paint because it was believed that babies cannot sleep in a room
painted yellow. I find it amazing that
colors can dictate our moods.
4. In the Feelings video,
what made the biggest impact on you in regards to color and it's effects on
emotions?
In this video the biggest impact on me in regards to color and
its effects on emotion is when colors were referred to light and dark referring
to anger and happiness. I like learning
about how the colors were made and that blue was a more expensive color because
of how labor intensive it was to create the color. This color was used in the most important
parts of paintings. This video seemed
very grim to me, except for the section on the Mona Lisa. The narrator kept pointing out the dark
images and dark feelings behind the painting and what those things translated
to. Those painting definitely gave me a
morbid feeling on the artists views of that time.
