1) Describe Color and its effects on emotions. Use the appropriate vocabulary of color in your posting.
- The definition from the book Living with Art; “color is a function of light. All colors are dependent on light, and no object possesses color intrinsically.” Different colors can have different effects on us, like the color blue which lowers our pulse, and the color red that is believed to increase our appetite.
2) What is a theoretical aspect of color that most intrigues / fascinates you? Why?
- The theoretical aspect of color that most fascinates me is what Vincent Van Gogh thought about when using bold colors; he said that the use of bold colors expresses strong emotions. One of his paintings (The Night Café) he used reds and greens to express how he felt being there, “that the café is a place where one can ruin oneself, go mad or commit a crime…” Van Gogh felt so passionate about colors that it makes me think twice when looking at a painting; I wonder ‘why did the artist choose those colors’.
3) In the Color video, what made the biggest impact on you in regards to color and its effects on emotions?
- For me the biggest impact that the Color video had was that how June Redfern would get so frustrated on her painting, she even threw things at it. She was so involved with getting the color right, that no matter what she did she was not really happy with it. I was a little taken back by that because she just seemed so annoyed that she couldn’t get her work of art to be what she wanted.
4) In the Feelings video, what made the biggest impact on you in regards to color and its effects on emotions?
- The biggest impact on me in regards to color and its effects on emotions would be the various religious during the Italian Renaissance. During the video I saw different artwork that had vibrant colors that just stood out.
