Color Theory and Emotional Effects

-
1. Describe Color and it's effects on emotions. Use the appropriate vocabulary of color in your posting. 
There are several reasons why colors are able to influence how we feel. We react on various levels of based on the colors we come across.Warm colors are usually associated with energy, brightness, and action, whereas cool colors are often identified with peace, and serenity. Red for example, represents fire, and  powerful emotions such as fear, anger and passion. While blue on the other hand may represent a sense of calmness or peace. From grass to leaves to other vegetation, the color green can be identified with the environment, which can put you in a relaxed or refreshed mood. Yellow is proven to be linked to sunshine, which conveys a joyous, happy mood. 
2. What is a theoretical aspect of color that most intrigues/fascinates you? Why?
Humans see colors in light waves. You can mix red, green and blue light sources of various intensities. The more light you add, the brighter the color mix becomes. If you mix all three colors of light, you get pure, white light. Color is perception. Our eyes see something (the sky, for example), and data sent from our eyes to our brains tells us it’s a certain color (blue). Objects reflect light in different combinations of wavelengths. Our brains pick up on those wavelength combinations and translate them into what we call color.
3. In the Color video, what made the biggest impact on you in regards to color and it's effects on emotions?
While looking at June Redfern's painting she stated that the painting looked very violent and I would have to agree. The colors used clashed with one another, creating a disoriented feeling to me much like VanGoh's painting of the cafe to express his distaste for it.
4. In the Feelings video, what made the biggest impact on you in regards to color and it's effects on emotions? Color can help bring a paintaing to life and make it look more realistic. Once a painting appears to be more realistic you can almost feel the emotions the artist is trying to portray through the picture.

Matisse and Picasso  An art collector by the name of Gertrude Stein arranged for Matisse and Picasso to meet. Little did she know that them meeting would influence the entire dynamic of modern art. Matisse and Piccaso were complete opposites; Matisse being more structured and organized with his thoughts and Picasso being more impulsive. Though their personalities were different both artist sough to influence and push boundaries of modern art.   At first they disliked each other's work but quickly challenged and motivated each other, which helped bring out the best in both artist.  They fed off of each other for technique, color, and concept to create their pieces.  I chose this video because I'm more familiar with Pablo Picasso, but never really knew much about him. I never knew how much of an influence Matisse was on his work. Expressionism  Expressionism was a form of modern art originiating in Germany. Art started to become more personal because the emoti...

Video Review

Video #1 When looking at marble statues it never came to mind the amount of thus artist have to take into consideration before creating the piece. For example,  how fragile the marble might be, h ow resistant is it to changing whether climates (is it going to be indoor or outdoor?), or how far will the marble extend so that their vision is able to come to life. The artist starts forming the piece with clay to get a visual start of what they visualized. Once they've made any finishing touches plaster is applied to help preserve the piece. This was an educational film and I learned a lot about the hardwork that sculpting requires. I found the video to be inspirational and I now have a greater appreciation for the art of sculpting, and the individulas who decide to persure this craft.  Video #2 Who knew glass was made from sand? Yet it has different properties than sand. Making glass is a long process that includes using fire to strengthen its properties. Its no...

Mask making

Me I chose my mas costumes( carnival costumes) as inspiration because they are filled with so much color and detail I thought it would be fun to make a mask inspired by their colors. I'm from the Caribbean so it's common for us to get dressed up like this and basically have one big party outside with loud music food and people. I took colors from each of the costumes, even from my step sister's costume(the purple one) to color in the mask. We don't usually wear masks with our costumes but usually really extravagant or small and detailed head pieces; so i thought why not switch it up. I used shape,color, texture, and line to create my mask. My frien had a mask alreay made with what seemed like a smooth plastic texture which is why the mask looks glossy. I also used rhinestones, glitter, and a gold sharpie to color it in. I free handed my design and I'm pretty happy with how it came out.
