Color is probably the most exciting visual element of Art. Various studies have shown that color affects a wide range of psychological and physiological responses. Red is believed to increase appetite. Blue will lower a person's blood pressure, pulse, and respiration rate. Color is a function of light. Without light there can be no color. Primary, Secondary, & Intermediate colors make up what we call a Color Wheel.
A theoretical aspect of color that fascinates me would be the most basic principle about color. All color is dependent on light, no object possesses color intrinsically.
In the Color video, I realized how different shades of color and putting bold colors next to one another can have a strong effect on your emotions. The woman painting the image of Venice experienced a range of emotions all based around COLOR.
In the Feelings video, I was moved by the Death of Marat painting. The speaker mentioned how the piece needed to appeal to a mass audience. When the painting was revealed to Paris on October. 17, 1793, the death of Marie Antoinette occurred on the same day. The symbolism of the painting is moving and the detailed vision of death expressed in the piece through Color fascinated me.
