Module 3

1. Color is a function of light. Color theory stipulates that sunlight can pass through a prism (a transparant glass from non parallel sides). The light is refracted into different colors in order of what we know as the rainbow.  Next, a second prism is combined and produces white light.  This proves that colors are actualy components of light.  Color has the ability to effect people unknowingly.  We may associate certain colors with specific emotions. Such as red and anger or yellow for happy.  Color and emotions have a widerange of usefulness.
2. I think that color and its ability to create optical effects is the most intriguing color theory.  Color is a simple way of creating an interesting image without needing the work to be overcluttered. After image and simultaneous contrast are just a few of the ways that color can fool the eyes and make a viewers look and think closer about the work.
3. The main focus of the color video was June and her rendition of Venice.  She begins by painting rudimentary paintings and later she states that she is most intrigued with this location because of its colors of the surroundings.  June paints a perspective that is rich in color.  She wanted to make a painting that eluded the mysterious and so focused on her paint with colors that embodied that.  Throughout her work she is continually assessing the color and what type of mood she wants to create.
4. The most impact that the feelings video imparted on me was the idea that art and the evolution of human thinking. As time progressed, the art that was being created had modernized as well.  With new definition of what art could be, new styles emerged.
