Color Theory and Emotional Effects

1. Describe Color and it's effects on emotions. Use the appropriate vocabulary of color in your posting.
Color is a strong but a hard concept when it comes to paintings. We believe color is to describe what artists see as inspiration, but it's more than that. Colors have meaning, colors are meant to describe the picture more than the painted lines. Artists add color to represent the mood and how the viewer should feel and think about the work.
2. What is a theoretical aspect of color that most intrigues/fascinates you? Why?
The most intriguing part about color to me is how certain values of color and different colors (warm and cool) can work together in setting the mood of a painting. We know how to associate certain colors and shades to specific feelings.
3. In the Color video, what made the biggest impact on you in regards to color and it's effects on emotions?
In this video, the most impact on me was how the artist first captured the color in person and made a quick note of what was there and how bright or dull the colors. She then went back to her studio to create the actual painting based on what she captured earlier. Her paintings are bright and provide a welcoming attitude.
4. In the Feelings video, what made the biggest impact on you in regards to color and it's effects on emotions? 
I noticed in this video that when the artist wanted to convey a dark, depressed mood, they used dark colors to represent the dark and dullness of the time. When in good times, they used lighter, brighter colors to show power and happiness. They also used colors to represent things, like purple and red which represent royalty.
