Color

Color has an effect on our emotions in many ways. When growing up many children are directed into colors by someone telling them how it is suppose to make them feel or they have an experience of something happening and they always seem to put colors that were involved together with the experience. I feel as if the colors red, orange, and yellow give off the color of fire, even when you think about fire trucks, fire engines, and fire alarms many are all red. So when some sees the color red they automatically would think danger. Red can also mean the color of an apple that many would think about teachers being involved with the color red. Even when thinking of the color blue most would think that blue is cooling or calming because of thinking of water or the sky. I feel as if color is shaped on us when we are children and it follows us around our whole lives.
 I would say the most intriguing color would have to be blue because I never looked at blue as being a calming color. I always thought of it as cooling color because of our sky and water. But when it come to calming I find it amazing what it does to students in a classroom. I noticed when you have a group of six-year-old sitting in a room with a cooling color such as blue it tends to calm them down and helps them work well in their environment . Then when you start to add in the vibrant colors things start to get a little crazy. Being school to become a teacher I have noticed in classrooms that teachers try to stay away from a lot of bright colors. I never knew that about the more cooling colors.

The biggest impact the color video had on me was when Titian was painting the virgin Mary with all the different colors. If I did not watch the video I would think that it was just one red color on the robe and I would have never of seen the red in the hands. I wonder if  a lot of painters redo their work before it is completely done?

The biggest impact the feeling video had on me was the "Mona "Lisa" that  there Leonardo just wanted to paint a ordinary women who was not a saint, smiling. What was her story? She was just an ordinary genuine women. I always wondered what the importance of this painting was. I think it is very true that just looking at her is intriguing.
