1. Describe Color and it's effects on emotions. Use
the appropriate vocabulary of color in your posting.
Color has a strong effect on emotion; color has the
power to control our mood or perception of objects. The online module displayed
a green Stop sign and a red Go light. Every day we interact with the opposite
red Stop sign and green Go light. The module asks “how would you react to
seeing these things?” I think it’s obvious that doing this at an intersection
would induce chaos. As a culture we have affiliated these colors with an
action, emotion, and it has a large effect in every part of our day. We may
feel insulted by a blue valentines card, or grossed out by a meal with blue
food.
2. What is a theoretical aspect of color that most
intrigues/fascinates you? Why?
One aspect of color that grabbed my attention was the
example the module used of changing the color of spaghetti. Food is delivered
in a large range of colors, but when the picture changed the color of spaghetti
with sauce from red to blue, I was disgusted. I really thought about how many
foods are blue, and honestly cannot think of any other than candy. I learned that
the color blue is used for food suppression which makes a lot of sense when
evaluating my reaction to blue spaghetti. I have learned years ago that red is
a color that makes people feel hungry, which explains why you see the color red
so much in restaurants and grocery stores. In a way I feel insulted that color
has so much control over my life!
3. In the Color video, what made the biggest impact on you in
regards to color and its effects on emotions?
What I found fascinating in this video is how the
artist has a significant amount of control over our emotions and perception of
a place that they are painting. If the artists likes the place, they use bright
beautiful colors to paint their emotion of happiness in relation to this place.
The artist can make us feel the way they do, exaggerating the brightness and
beauty of a location. Contrary to this, the artist may have had a bad
experience in this place and can use color to make it appear dark, dirty, and
unappealing. It may even be the exact same place but the artist can use color
to impact our emotions.
4. In the Feelings video, what made the biggest impact on you in
regards to color and it's effects on emotions?
In this
video, the artists introduced to me the power of color in perception of
royalty. This is something I never knew, that there are certain colors that I
affiliate with royalty and wealth, and colors affiliated with poverty. This is
so fascinating to me because I truly never put thought into how color can make
me perceive something like wealth just by using purple and red.
