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.
