Color and its effect on emotion.

Emotions are responsive to color.  The responses are both culturally conditioned and intensely personal.  Cool colors which are blues are associated with freedom and calming in the American perception of art.  However blue in other countries are the colors of god or linked to sadness.  Different colors mean different things to people.  Depending on their background and social beliefs colors can mean all different things to people.


The most theoretical aspect of color that most fascinates me is color properties.  So many different effect of a color can be made from hue, value and intensity.Because of these unique properties a art work can take a colorful or not so colorful stand.

In the color video as the artist tried to create a masterpiece, but her colors did not do what she wanted them to do.  She had much trouble getting them to create a emotion within herself that satisfied her in a finished piece of art work.  The way her emotion became anger at the painting was unique in the way the colors effected her.
In the feelings video the biggest impact on me was how the two artists were similar until there perceptions of life and the world changed how a painting can change so drastically.  It was so disturbing to see how Goya took such a drastic way of thinking about the world and put it on canvas.  But it was nice to see David think of the world as clarity and good.  I also found interesting that in med-evil time paintings were of god, in Renascence time paintings were about humanity in god and in the enlightenment world humanity was instead of god.  Just a great video overall, learned things i had no idea about. :)

  1. I agree the artist in the video tried to put certain colors to describe how she feels but they didn't really work out the way she wanted it to. When using colors one must choose wisely or they won't give out the exact expression.
