" We don't see things, we see light." This first sentence, a part of My art Studio: Elements of Art had me intrigued. It is crazy to think that without light, objects have no appearance. Colors play a huge role on emotions. The example that the elements of art website gives about the stop and go sign and what would happen if the colors were to switch. What would you do at a green stop sign? Or if boys were represented by pink? How would that affect gender roles. Why aren't foods blue? Why are we grossed out by blue foods? It is amazing how all of these aspects of color play a role in our emotions. "The complex emotional responses evoked by colors are not easily reduced to a set of rules or a series of formulas." We have no way of knowing how or way colors impact us the way we do.
The part of color that fascinates me the most would be optical effects. It is amazing how when looking at the value portion under the optical effects sections, those black circles appear amongst the white circles. Personally, I enjoy looking at optical illusions and I never really even thought about how much color impacts and plays a role in optical illusions.
In the color video, it was fascinating to think how color can affect your emotions. When the artist June visits old painting to see where her inspiration came from, we see what a huge role color played for her and how color played a huge role in her emotions that it really impacted her own piece of artwork. I think the colors that she sees in Venice, also play a big role on her emotions.
In the feelings video, what played the biggest impact on me in regards to color impacting emotions was the scene in the church with all of the stain glass windows and just realizing how truly beautiful they were. The stunning colors and the sheer beauty of the colors were incredible. Being Jewish, it is not often that I find myself in a church so seeing these images, ones that I am not familiar with, I really get to appreciate the beauty of it.
