Color effects each of our emotions differently. A great example of that is the "winter blues", the depression, that most people feel during the winter months when we are surrounded by white, blue and gray. Compared to how you feel in the summer with the bright warm yellows and oranges and reds. It effects our emotions in that it sets a mood for our day before anything may have happened yet.
Warm colors make us feel warm and awake, where cold and cool colors make us feel just that.
What I find most interesting about the theory of color is the same as what Titian did in the Assumption using oil. Light does not just stay in one spot or stay within specific lines. Just as he made sure to mimic real life in the way he painted the light of the red off of her robe reflecting on to her hand. I love that light makes colors lively.
The biggest impact that the video Colors had on me in regards to color and it's effects on emotions is that it is ok to get "distance from your painting." There are a lot of times where I get so very frustrated by the colors not looking how I imagine in my head, that I will throw the whole canvas out and start over. Or I get upset when I love a painting in one room but when I take it to another room I hate it because the light has changed my painting and the shades. I appreciate the struggles and the errors that others have made in order to make making art better for people now.
In the Feelings video, the biggest impact it had on me in regards to color and it's effects on emotions was that the details and the passion that an artist puts into a painting can make someone have every feeling known to man. Looking at a painting just like a photo and just like watching something happen in real life, all can make us feel happy, sad, proud, powerful, scared, or whatever the artist wants.
