1.) Color is what brings pleasure to a particular piece of artwork. Color allows viewers to experience all kinds of emotions. For instance, in terms of the colors intensity, whether it is a bold sold intensity, the person can feel bright and happy. If the intensity is dulled and softened, the viewer can possibly feel relaxed or even a little sad. Value can also effect a person's emotions. Value refers to lightness or darkness in art. If the colors are dark, like black or shades of gray it can have a repressed feeling, if they are light they can have happy feeling for the viewer. Color is so powerful in art, and just using a particular color,can allow a person to experience an intense emotional effect.
2.) Light is the theoretical aspect that fascinates me the most. I found it so interesting how the book discussed Newton, who found that color is really just components of light, and that we are only perceiving reflected light rays when we look at a specific color. It is just amazing how light is able to take away other colors so we see only one color.
3.) In the Color video, I felt that when June was painting a fast piece of the buildings and the river in Venice, that the colors she was using were really bringing out the beauty of Venice. I felt that the true view of the backstreet was dull, but when she was painting she was using warm and softened colors, which made me view Venice as a gorgeous place. It just goes to show that color is truly able to effect a persons emotional state.
4.) In the Feelings video, I found the biggest impact on me was the discussion about how reason came into play and how humanists viewed the world. I liked the statement about perspective, which was "man thinking differently about what he is." I thought this to be very powerful, and I was able to get a sense of what the Renaissance was like for artists. They painted exactly what human kind was like back then, and any viewer can experience a feeling of differences and perspectives in those paintings.
