Week 2- Color and Emotions

1. Color is the element of art that gives us the most pleasure to look at a piece of art. Color affects a wide range of psychological and physiological responses by us. Color however, is a function of light. Without light, there can be no color. Some colors can give us a craving to eat more than others and some can give us calmer feelings or wild feelings. Weird........I Know but interesting

2. If i had to pick a favorite theoretical aspect of color, I guess it would be primary colors. Primary Colors are the basis for any other colors. You cannot mix and get a primary color but you can mix the primary colors and get secondary or tertiary colors.

3. In the color video what made the biggest impact to me is how the light in Venice reflected on the art works and made them come almost alive. The reflections from the light made each art work emotionally sound and you could really see how the artist tried to manipulate the colors according to the light he/she was expecting to hit the art.

4. The most interesting thing i found in the emotions video is the painting of the Mona Lisa. I think the artist did a great job manipulating the colors to make it have a calm and divine feeling and make it seem more of like a normal person, instead of this glorified piece of work.
