1. Describe Color and it's effects
on emotions. Use the appropriate vocabulary of color in your posting.
Color is light reflected off objects. Color has three main characteristics: hue or its name (red, green, blue, etc.), value (how light or dark it is), and intensity (how bright or dull it is). I believe that colors effects on emotions are pretty intense. For example, most restaurants are painted red inside because that color is supposed to increase your appetite. When people are sad, they are more likely to involve the color blue, anger would be red, happy might be yellow, etc. I personally tend to paint when I need to vent/relax/express a feeling. The end result always comes up at the end, reflecting the emotions I was experiencing at the time, and the only way anyone could judge that, would be by the color schemes.

2. What is a theoretical aspect of
color that most intrigues/fascinates you? Why?
A theoretical aspect of color that most intrigues/fascinates me is secondary colors. The science behind mixing two primary colors together is amazing, and to how that was first discovered. Cool and warm colors are also interesting, with their association with fire/sunlight, and sky/water/shade.

3. In the Color video, what made the
biggest impact on you in regards to color and it's effects on emotions?
The biggest impact on me in regards to color and it’s effects on emotions were these two segments:
The Scottish woman painter, June Redfern goes to Venice to see one of her favorite paintings. As she is around Venice, she tries to paint an image of an old man on his boat that is docked in the canal. She goes back to her studio and tries to paint a larger version of it, and her emotions really show when she isn’t satisfied with the colors, and throws things at it. She says later in the video, that colors are very psychological. There are many meanings and ideas, but at the end of the day, it is how you feel about them that matters.
Vincent van Gogh shows emotion through painting a small café. “It is one of the ugliest I have ever done, I have attempted to show that the café is a place where a man can ruin himself; go mad, commit a crime. I have tried to capture these terrible feelings with green and red.” “I use color to try and express myself more forcibly.” He hoped his violently contrasting colors would express his profound taste for the place.

4. In the Feelings video, what made
the biggest impact on you in regards to color and it's effects on
emotions?
Matthew Collings seeks the first glimmerings of humanist art in the Italian Renaissance in this video. What made the biggest impact on me in regards to color and it’s effects on emotions was the segment on the Mona Lisa by Leonardo DiVinci. The famous mystery of her appeal. He was just painting a woman, not a madonna or a religious icon. There is a compelling sense of individuality. She is made to look very regular, of flesh and blood, just like everyone else. The colors in that painting are very dull, and nothing eye catching. The fact that it is one of the most well known paintings in the world, it is not bright, or distorted in any way, and is still so beautiful.
