Color produces different sensations on the eye as a result of the way an object reflects or emits light. The Color video we watched stated that artists treat color with caution because it has a powerful and unpredictable effect on our emotions. Some colors of a piece of art, an object, or a place can resonate with someone so much that it becomes something they cannot stop thinking about. What is so intriguing about color is how the reflection of light highly affects it. An example of this, and something that fascinated me the most, is the way that the reflection of light affects colors on buildings or water. This is something that I see all the time in my surroundings, but have never really thought about until now.
The biggest impact that the Color video had on me was when it talked about all the subtle shifts of a certain color, or all the different shades that are used for just one color. I think it is so amazing how artists incorporate different shades of the same color into their work. Back then, certain pigments for certain colors were very expensive, so artists were limited on how much of each color they could use. This is something we don't think about nowadays. Artists use colors to affect each other within their work, which I think in turn affects the viewers thoughts and emotions on the art the are looking at.
The biggest impact the Feelings video had on me was when it talked about how people who went to a church/chapel to pray did not care about the artists techniques that they used within their paintings. Yet, some artists did such an amazing job within their paintings that they were able to intensify the stories they depicted, allowing people to be able to emotionally identify with them. It is amazing how art can help people relate to so many different things and help create a deeper level of understanding.
