Module #3

    1. Describe Color and it's effects on emotions. Use the appropriate vocabulary of color in your posting.
Color is a product of light that allows the differentiation of objects in the world. It is not something actually physical, more so made from the reflection of light rays from one another.  According to Living With Art, we are culturally conditioned to associate certain colors with emotions. For example, red is typically the color one uses when expressing feelings of rage whereas blue is seen as more serene and calming. 

    2. What is a theoretical aspect of color that most intrigues/fascinates you? Why?
The aspect that fascinates me the most is the concept of colors not being tangible, just effects of light. As a child, you never think about understanding why certain things are a particular color, the concept just stays with you typically for you whole life. The oceans are a good example. I always drew the ocean as blue because that's what I saw as a child. Learning that the water was not blue but clear, the blue color coming from the reflection of the sky, fascinated me. 

    3.  In the Color video, what made the biggest impact on you in regards to color and it's effects on emotions?
The artist's attitude in the video towards her painting is what intrigued me. She spoke about the act of painting as if it were a work of art itself. She described the experience as the paint moving her rather than the other way around. 

     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 in this video was the idea mentioned that art was a method of teaching different political viewpoints among early civilization. Also, that it is used to learn about the past.
