the colors

1. Describe Color and its effects on emotions. Use the appropriate vocabulary of color in your posting.

 Color is a function of light. If there isn’t light there can be no color.  Color affects us in simple ways. Color can change our mood, attitude and how we feel about something. People know this about colors, for example in restaurants they would decorate with red because red is believed to increase appetite and increase the food consumption of the patrons of the restaurant.   

2. What is a theoretical aspect of color that most intrigues/fascinates you? Why?

 There are so many colors in the world. There’s different shade and different intensities of colors and all those colors all come from Red, orange, yellow, green, blue and violet is amazing. It all started with those colors and the combinations are endless.  Also it’s amazing how different colors make us feel different ways.

 

3. In the Color video, what made the biggest impact on you in regards to color and its effects on emotions? 

  The biggest impact on me was how passionate the painter was about color that she would go to another country and see them and use them in an inspirational painting. In Titian’s Assumption of the Virgin, red was used a lot and to see the different types of ways a painter can us shades of red and make the painting come alive was amazing.

 

4. In the Feelings video, what made the biggest impact on you in regards to color and it's effects on emotions?

This movie showed how painting can show strong emotions and feelings like patriotism, happiness, and sadness and divine artwork of angels, and hell. The painting that I found fascinating was Rogier van der Weyden. The last judgment. The colors showed strong emotions. It also shows the good and bad being judged. It shows heaven and hell.
