Project

I enjoyed doing this project. At first I thought it would be easy, just take a few pictures right?........WRONG! This process took a lot of thought. In the end it came out good though. I had a hard time embedding it because it would not log into my account for whatever reason so hopefully it came out right. I really continue to learn how much work really goes into being an artist. It is definitely not as effortless as they make it look!

Color

Color is a function of light and can not exist without it. Colors are determined by wether or not the surface absorbs or reflects parts of light. If the surface absorbs all of the light you get black. If the surface reflects all of the light you get white. With the interactive tool you could see how the combinations produced different colors. If the surface absorbs blue and reflects red and yellow we see orange. Color can effect our emotions. Based on the video Color bold colors represent strong emotions. In the color video I found it very interesting as to how deeply we can be effected by color. Different artists use color in order to convey their feelings of dislike as in the situation with the restaraunt. The feelings video was also very interesting in regards to the effecto of color on ones emotions. The way artists use the colors for us to have a deeper understanding and emotional connection to the piece and what it represents. It was also interesting the shift from the religous art to the human art.

Week 1

This week, setting up the Gmail account, as well as my Blogger account went smoothly. I am excited to see what I will learn in this class. I expect to gain a greater appreciation and understanding of Art. I have always liked art but never viewed it as something I would be good at. I have always been more of a science girl. I wanted to learn something new, so here I am. I think it will be a good experience. Taking my courses online was a decision out of neccesity. So far I am a little nervous about it. As of this week I have learned that it wasnt easy to even remember I had started school. I'm sure that will change soon.
