1. Specific colors can have cultural or individual associations. They can be used symbolically or to set a mood. Colors often have contradictory cultural associations. Examples: Red can symbolize danger and anger, but also joy and love. Yellow color or cowardice or ill health, also summer days. Context provides clues to a color meaning or emotional impact. http://www.mhhe.com/ArtStudio/1/4/1/1.html
2. What most intrigues/ fascinates me about color is how depending on a color it can represent a mood, setting, action. Moreover our society has had an effect on how we see colors as well is what fascinates me more, we have set standards on what colors mean and represent. Green means "go" red means "stop", why couldn't stop signs be brown? Red means love in some situations, valentines day is all red because we made it that way. Yellow is summer... blue is happy. This is what fascinates me the most. We can change our moods based on color, is that just what our body reacts too or we did this as a society? When we wake up and its sunny and cloud free it seems like most of us are happy, but if it was dark and raining our moods would change.
3. Biggest impacts from the video
- use places with different colors that spark imagination
- power of colors on people and what they depict from it
-blue used for virgins robes, colors that were more expensive were used for special things in paintings, this showed the power and emotion behind that color
-intensity of paint depends on how it was made
