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.
