Module 3 Blog

1. Color is created by light.  It can range from primary colors, to secondary colors, to intermediate colors and everything in between.  Color is created when it is refracted through light.  Each color creates an emotion within a person.  Each emotion is extremely personal and can be conditioned through culture.  For example, in America, people associate red and green with Christmas.  Also blue is usually used for a calming effect on an artwork.

2. I find it interesting that there would be no color if we didn't have light.  When we see a color, we see the light rays, not an actual color.  It is extremely interesting that objects really don't have a color. When you see an object that is red, that object absorbs all of the colors except red.  This way the red will reflect and become the only color you see. This happens with every specific color.

3. Red makes you make decisions.  It's a good grade to start with because it's your choice to make it bright or dark.  This decision is based off of how you feel at the moment.  Red makes people feel alive. I also liked how they explained that color moves through you.  You don't need to know much about color, just what works for you.


4. It really impacted me when they talked about how color reflected what expression a person within an artwork is feeling.  This expression makes the audience feel the same way.  This shows that color is needed to impact an audience's feelings.  It helps an artist depict certain emotions that they are trying to stress.
