Questions and Topics for Your Blog Posting:
1. Describe Color and it's effects on emotions. Use the appropriate vocabulary of color in your posting.
Emotional responses to color are both culturally conditioned and intensely personal. (i.e.- Red and Green being culturally tied to Christianity in America). Certain colors evoke particular emotions. Blue is often associated with sadness (see Nocturne in Blue and Cold - James Abbott McNeill Whistler). Red can indicate horror or anxiety, perhaps due to the fact that our eyes detect red, yellow, and orange faster than other colors. An example of this is Edvard Munch's work, The Scream.
Color Harmonies are used when decorating rooms to evoke certain feels or emotions. Monochromatic harmonies are composed of variations on the same hue with differences in value and intensity. Complementary harmonies involve colors directly opposite each other on the color wheel, such as red and green. This makes both hues appear more intense when they are right next to each other. Analogous harmonies combine colors adjacent to one another on the color wheel, as in Diana Cooper's The Site. Triadic harmonies are composed of any three colors equidistant from each other on the color wheel. Many artists are known for their particular color palette's.
2. What is a theoretical aspect of color that most intrigues/fascinates you? Why?
Triadic harmonies intrigue me because there is a weird overlap between math/geometry and color when you talk about the color wheel.
3. In the Color videos, what made the biggest impact on you in regards to color and it's effects on emotions?
The story of June from the Color video made the biggest impact on me. She is an artist from England that truly played to the beat of her own drum, lived to paint because of the feeling that it gave her of feeling like a 5-year-old kid again. The way she spoke about her process, naming part of it the "keeping it going theory'', was very fascinating. She paints with her intuition, and that intuition is connected to what she sees in front of her in regards to color and other visual elements. She readjusts her painting after noticing that it looks too harsh at one point. Her method of painting is trial-and-error, and the journey of it all was intriguing to watch.
The segment about van Goh and his use of color to express his distaste for the cafe, as well as the entire Mark Rothko segment, were also a very interesting parts of the video.
