Color Theory and Emotional Effects

1.) Color is the reflection of light off objects and things, that we can see with the human eye. Many objects tend to absorb that light also. Color and emotion go hand in hand. Just like in the first video, the artist June was known for using emotion with her paintings and colors. When she went to Venice and came home and panted that area of where she was inspired, she tended to have many mixed emotions. She changed her color a lot through the process. She didn't like some of the reds, so she went darker but got angry and changed the colors again. In the end she was finally becoming happy with it and her colors were becoming just right.

2.) I think June's theoretical aspect of correlation between color and emotion is my favorite. She knows her emotions effect the colors of her artwork. I think it was interesting watching her get frustrated and how that truly changed her whole painting for weeks!

3.) The Color video was a lot more interesting to me than the second one. The thing that impacted me the most was watching June's painting transform over time because of her emotions. At some points she would go look at it far away, get mad about it, and come throw turpentine at it and basically create a whole knew look for the painting. She blamed a lot of it on the lighting difference from in her home from where she was in Venice. Either way, seeing her emotions be such a big part and impact on color really interested me.

4.) In this video, it amazes me on how much work was put into a lot of these paintings. The emotions really affected the colors and artwork. Artist David had such passion for his statues he created. He worked so long and hard on them because he was so passionate about it. Goya really showed a lot of his passionate emotion in a lot of his paintings. Just so much detail and hard work put into them. Goya had some paintings that went dark. He had a illness and after always painting with colors, and happiness, he went to dark and depressing and that really showed in his artwork.
