Art Material Exploration #1: Exploring Value and The Subtractive Color Theory

Create the Value Color and Color Wheel was very interesting. Realize this work was a litter hard especially the wheel of color. I enjoy more the Value Color for me was something very relaxing. After do this value color I going to try to practice more with the graphite. I like the wheel of color but not too much. I have to mix more than one time to get the colors. I don't know if they give the incorrect magenta but was very hard get the red. In  the store they have a lot of different tones of color depending on the brand. I start to find the color of wheel more complicated from the first moment in the store. The most important discovery of this work is the lot of different colors and shades that can we have just with a pencil and three primary colors. We don't need to have 20 bottles of paint for have 20 different colors. Its easy if we buy the colors already mixed but its fun and interesting if we make them. Watching the video was very interesting, I found very curious the comment of the video when they said "Your art teacher lied about the primary colors". They really put me to think about that. The video of the Value Scale was great they help mea lot to complete the chart. Great activity to learn something of art.  

PhotoBucket Project

 I like too much this project. I always take photos but never realize about the elements and principles. Everybody have an artist inside, I notice that we always have elements and principles in our photos but never pay attention. After this project I'm always to reflect in the elements and principles used. We just need to be created. http://s738.photobucket.com/user/julissa731/library/?view=recent

Color Theory and Emotional Effects

The color is one of the visual elements that give much pleasure. Various studies suggested that color affects a wide range of psychological and even physiological response. Color is a function of light. without light there can be no color. The color properties are Hue, Value and Intensity. Hue is the name of color according to the categories of the color wheel. Value refers to relative lightness or darkness. Intensity refers to the purity of color. Light and pigment  depends on whether and artist is working, colors behave different. Colors harmony sometimes called a color or scheme , is the selective use of two or more color in a singe composition. Colors harmonies also apply to the pictorial arts, although they may be more difficult to spot because o difference in value and intensity. For me one of the most fascinate me is the optical effects of color. Colors can play tricks to our eyes. One of the effect are the simultaneous contrast. Some colors seem to advance other to recede. Color can be mixed in light or pigment, but the can also be mixed with the eyes.  When small patches of different color are close together, they may blend to produce a new color. For me this something fascinating how the psychological or the how the mixed in our eyes can make a new color.
 In the video color they said  Color is perhaps the most powerful artistic element, but it is also the most difficult to control.  That something that really impact me because Its the first time I think in the way. The artist was very carefully chosen the color for her painting. The color is one of most biggest challenge on her paint. In the video Feelings: emotion and Art  they talk about the idea of using art to explore the human condition rather than the divine was a significant departure from the predominantly religious artwork that preceded this secular revelation. In this video know more of Goya was very impact for me, last semester I take the course of civilization of Spain and they talk briefly from Goya I was very impress with his paint about death.  Now I understand how he try to show his feeling about the problems of his time. I enjoying how this course go together with other class.

Video Review

In the first video Philosophers theory on aesthetics, I learned about the history and different points of  view of Arts from the artist the ideas of key figures in the shaping and understanding of aesthetics, Plato, Francis Hutcheson, and Kant  to Leon Battista Alberti, Stendhal, and Tolstoy.  The second video Carta Neurobiology and art and aesthetics, I learn from the presentation how the brain play an important place on art. This video was very impressionist for me something I said art is a paint a photo something like that. But know I saw the people study the brain for connect with the art is a something different for me. I just beginning the class and start to understand better what is art. In the cnn article I read this at the end I found have some information relation with the second video.
I feel Plato 4th Century B.C. is most important because he was early in the history. Also I like this line "There is a beauty by which all things are beauty." He have the idea that everything have beauty just you have to founded, that's my personal opinion. He present symmetry in his art. For me was very impressive all of is work he can make perfect art using his brain nothing of technology in that era. About  Changeux was interesting how he study the brain, how he compare the symmetry with the bones of the head.  How he make the comparation symmetry vs. aesthetics. Ramachadran present the point of culture and humans. He talk about how the brain respond to art. In addition the most interesting for me from Ramachadran was when he talk about the eight laws of art. Wow! art have laws too. The article the videos and the readings are all connected. They present different point f view of Aesthetics and how brain, history and culture are all involved in art. The films and the articles help me to understand and get connected to the text. They have almost the same topics but have different point of views. But they demonstrate that art is history, cultural is neurological and very important  in our society.
