Color and Emotional Effects

1. An artist's use of color can influence a person's emotions in a painting. The hue, intensity and color can promote a feeling that the artis is trying to convey. Brighter hues can promote happier feelings for instance and more intense colors can convey more intese feelings.

2. The theoretical aspect of color that intrigues me the most is the fact that we do not see colors we actually see reflections of light. What is even more interesting is that white is a combination of all the colors on the spectrum.

3. In the video, the most interesting aspect was that the artist began with the yellowish color of the buildings as a foundation to her painting. She later added more intense colors that expressed her mood and the outcome was much more personal than the image she saw.

4.In the video, the most intriguing aspect of color and feelings is that it started with humanism. Each period of time changes the way humans were depicted. For instance, during the revolution, the paintings were not meant to depict any emotion other than Revolution. The colors were intense and meant to depict the emotions of war.
