Blog 3: Color Theory and Emotional Effects


1. Describe Color and it's effects on emotions. Use the appropriate vocabulary of color in your posting. 
Color connects to our emotions with its different intensity, values and hues. Bright colors tend to make us happy, or put us in a good mood. When dark and dull colors often make us sad, angry, scared or depressed. Thats why in scary movies the colors are very dark and dull, because it changes your mood. If they were to use bright and happy colors in a scary movie, you probably wouldn't be as scared. 
2. What is a theoretical aspect of color that most intrigues/fascinates you? Why?
The theoretical aspect of color that most fascinates me is how colors can effect our moods. Its amazing how that works. If you're looking at a painting of a rainbow, flowers and butterflies you're going to be in a better mood than if you're looking at a painting of a dark empty room.
3. In the Color video, what made the biggest impact on you in regards to color and it's effects on emotions?
The biggest impact the color video had on me was how June was getting so angry with her painting. She reminded me of myself. She was angry because the colors weren't giving the right feeling. June said the colors were making the mood of the picture violent, and thats not what she wanted. 
4. In the Feelings video, what made the biggest impact on you in regards to color and it's effects on emotions? 
The biggest impact the feelings video had on me was the "Mono Lisa" painting. Da Vinci created the "Mono Lisa" with a mysterious glow around her. I believe without this glow the "Mono Lisa" painting would give off a different feeling. The slight smile on the "Mono Lisa" also changed the mood of the painting. The smile and the glow together often made people smile while looking at Da Vinci's painting.
