AED Project #1 Color Facts and Emotions

Colors

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

Some thing that was very important about color and that to me it was important to mention in this blog is that us human don't see color what we see is different lights. When we stand in a room of complete darkness the reason why we only see black is because no light is reflected upon our eyes. Another, important fact about color that I learned from the website is that objects are not seemed without light and that they reflect and absorbed different types of lights. Depending on the colors reflected and absorbed is that determines the color that the object will be. Moreover, colors have a direct effects on our emotions because different colors cam make us feel different things.
What is a theoretical aspect of color that most intrigues/fascinates you? Why?

In fact, one of the theoretical aspects of color that intrigues me is the fact that it has an impact on our emotions. Another theoretical fact that mostly fascinates me is the absorption and reflection of the color in an object. It is to me awesome how dark or black objects are the color they are because they absorb most of the light that hits them and reflect very little of it back. If black objects were to absorb all the light that strike them then they would become invisible. That bring me to my own realized conclusion that the darker an object is the more light it has absorb and the less it has reflect. That why we have different tones of black.

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

One of the the things that impacted me the most about seeing the video was the reason why some artist painted. In the video there was an artist called June Redfern that went to Venice, Italy to see Titian's Assumption of The Virgin to be inspired by his brilliant use of color. Then she painted the back drop of a regular building in Venice. She choose to paint this spot of Venice because it gave her a certain feeling of peace. Moreover, the thing that fascinated me the most about her work is that she painted the painted so that people could feel what she felt at the moment a supposed to what she saw. In the video it shows the frustration she had to go through in making the painting because the color sequence at some point of the process was not reflecting the exact emotions she was feeling when in Venice. It was very touching to see how important as an artist it was to her to get her feelings across using her art work and the color inside it.

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

The thing that impacted me the most how art is able to to illustrates a times feelings and believes. Moreover, what impacted me the most about color's effects of emotions is that thorough color you are able to see not only the feeling an artist is having but also what is going on on their lives. In the video Feelings, they talk about  Francisco Goya a Spanish artist that painted the emotions of his times. At some point of the video they discuss how through out time he went through major changes in his art work. In the early stages of his life he was painting using very bright colors and very happy scene. However, toward the end of his life he began to paint using very dark colors and painting very depressing scenes. It is amazing how the colors that his artist used in the paintings shows what he was feeling. This is because when he was painting using bright colors he was Young and happy. When he was painting using dark color he was getting sick and going through bad times.
