Color Theory and Emotional Effects

1. Much of the variety of color is due to how it reacts with other colors that surround it. The way the human eye sees a color is based on where it is placed among other colors. Colors have cultural associations to certain feelings. For example, the color red is a way to signal danger or stop, while it can also signify the feeling of love when one sees the color red.

2. Value most intrigues me because it also connects with the hue of the color when you are changing the value of one. Making a color lighter or darker can change the hue, this is evident in the color yellow because when adding black to it, the color will become not only darker but also have a green hue to it. This fascinates me because of how everything can relate back to each other.

3. In the color video, the biggest impact on me was when I learned how adding colors to a painting keeps it alive. When looking at a picture, something with bright colors will make a person feel happy and uplifted.

4. In the feelings video, the biggest impact on me was when he talked about the famous Mona Lisa. He stated she is not a type, but she is a person with genuine individuality. When looking at the painting and the famous smirk she appears to have, the audience feels a glow of happiness. I think that being able to change a mood from being upset to happy just by looking at a painting is very fascinating.

module 12

I chose 'Art of the 50's and 60's' and 'Uncertainty: Modernity and Art' because I love everything about the 50 and 60's era and am hoping the modernity video is about how art has expanded. 2. In 'Art of the 50's and 60's' I learned that many comic book characters are put together in the same way and viewed the same way. Also, I learned how to dissect a photo to better understand how a portrait was put together in the way that it was. In 'Modernity and Art' I learned that modern art is very hard to interpret and many people wish it wasn't. I realized that there is a lot of emotion behind the random strokes in a painting and nothing is meaningless. I always asked myself why I couldn't be famous for splatter painting on a canvas but I now see there is a lot of heavy detail behind the randomness of artwork. 3. These videos relate to the text because they both explain the many fine details that make or break the artwork and the...

1. I selected 'Matisse and Picasso' because I wanted to learn more about the famous artists that they are. I never knew much about them and was eager to find out. I also chose 'Expressionism' because it seemed interesting and was hoping it would teach me how artists chose the expressions on their artwork and what they meant behind them. 2. In 'Matisse and Picasso' I learned that Matisse and Picasso were both very different. I learned that Picasso added a lot to his works. He would come back everyday and restart on his painting, adding something new every time. In 'Expressionism', I learned that artists emphasized emotion to tell a story in their artworks. There were sad emotions expressed to signify death and to give details to the audience when looking at the artwork. 3. The videos relate to the reading in the text because they both give us reasons and ways that artists connect with their audience. 4. My opinion of these films were mixed throughou...

1. My expectations of this class was to learn more about the background of art and these expectation were beyond met. I learned more than I thought I would which is great! 2. In my first post I said art is a from of creativity and a way to express oneself. I still believe in this but I also want to add that art isn't just about opinion and how the artist views things. The artist will gear towards a certain audience and actually leave out their personal opinions of the artwork and put aside their feelings in one's work. 3. Vincent Van Gogh was my favorite artist and now it is Claude Monet. Monet is my favorite because I have seen many of his painting of flowers in fields and the texture look of his art makes it even better. 4. I love online courses! My view on them are the same from the beginning because I knew it would take more self discipline but I love it! I learned a lot doing everything on my own.
