1. Color is used to illicit specific human emotions. Colors leave an impression on the human mind and may be resonant in our unconscious, as when we are sleeping and dreaming. Color also creates mobile, moving edges and affections. Colors can create love hate relationships. The bolder a color is, it is thought to express a strong emotion.
2. A theoretical aspect of color that most interest me is that feelings are difficult to paint. I found that to be interesting because we all interpret things differently. Most people view black as a color of grief and sadness, but still others view it as happiness or even neutral. With ambiguous meaning to what the color actually meant it makes it difficult to paint a feeling.
3. What made the biggest impact on me in the Color video was an artist using red in a cafe because of his dislike of the place and the color red was to illicit a response to ruin the observers appetite.
4. In the Feelings video the biggest impact on me was when Goya began painting after his illness. His paintings went from filled with bright, happiness colors to not so vibrant paintings. It was a dark side to him that mixed reality with imagination. He felt that unreason would always come back. I found it interesting how it showed in his work. How a bad life experience can change our output.
