Describe Color and its effects on emotions. Use the
appropriate vocabulary of color in your posting.
Color is composed of multiple
properties that allow us to perceive color by its own nature. The properties
that create what is perceived as color are: Hue, Intensity, and Value. Hue is
the technical term that corresponds to the conventional color names (such as
red), that we use to described a specific range of wavelength of light.
Intensity is the property of color that describes its purity or strength. Value
is the relative lightness or darkness of a color. Color can have different
emotions depending on who is watching, as far human beings. Each person has
their own vision and perception which is where color can cause emotions.

What is a theoretical aspect of color that most
intrigues/fascinates you? Why?
According to My Art Studio
the definition of colors is seldom seen in isolation. Much of the richness and
variety of color is due to the complex ways in which colors react to one
another. The apparent value and intensity of a color is especially dependent
upon the other colors that happen to surround it. Based on this the thing that
intrigues/fascinates me is the fact that the same color can have different type
of emotion on me. For example, when you look at the painting from Pablo Picasso
Guernica and The Portrait of Gertrude Stein in the original colors they seen to
share a similar brown color in some area of the paintings. However, the brown
used on Guernica at first glance invocate on me a feeling of confusion and
clarity. But the brown used on the Portrait of Gertrude Stein at first glance
make me feel depress and isolated. It is for this reason that I find it
intriguing that one-color use in different content can invocate different
emotions.

In the Color video, what made the biggest impact on you
in regards to color and its effects on emotions?
In the video color what made
the biggest impact on me was when June Redfern said that “color is a
psychological thing”. The reason why this caused an impact on me is because
each color creates different feelings in different paintings. And what is more
intriguing, is that, it is based on psychological perception of them. For
example, bold color can cause strong emotions as compared to colors with low
intensity, which can cause more of a sad, depressing feeling.

In the Feelings video, what made the biggest impact on
you in regards to color and its effects on emotions?
In the video in the Feelings:
Emotions & Art the biggest impact that this documentary had on me was the
fact that two different artists used their creativity and art exposure to
promote their political views. Both Jacques-Louis David and Francisco Goya used
color to create feeling and emotions. On one hand, David used the feeling of
freedom from the king, he partakes with his art in the French revolution
because he is known as the “furious terrorist”. His painting creates a feeling
of separation from religious views. The paintings of David are/were considered
to represent a thing of beauty. On the other hand, Francisco Goya supported his
king, Carlo IV, in the Spanish-French war. His painting illustrates a thing of
ugliness that exist within us. Most of Goya’s paintings express the feelings of
the things that are consider dark in the human soul. The biggest thing that I have
learned from these artists is how powerful the concept of color and emotion can
be. So powerful, in fact, that at some point in human history it changed the
course of nations.
