Color

1. I thought that creating the value scale was not too hard but definitely harder then I remembered it to be. Once I got down closer to the white end of the scale it was hard to judge just how much lighter to make the next box. I enjoyed making the color wheel a lot, it took a few tries for me to get it to look the way i had envisioned but eventually I was able to get just what I wanted. 2. I enjoyed working with the paints the most even though it took me the longer amount of time. I found that it was more enjoyable mixing the true Primary colors to create the secondary ones. 3. I believe that the most important discovery is that the true primary colors are cyan, magenta, and yellow. Not red, blue, and yellow, like we are taught at a very young age. 4. The most important thing I learned was how to use the pencil and hold it at the right angle to create the values portion of the project. This to me was important because when I first attempted it, I was holding the pencil straight ...

Once I began taking just a couple pictures, I couldn't put my phone down and looking at things in different ways. When doing this project I allowed myself to look at the things around me with an open and free mind and photograph a lot of the everyday things around me that represent the definitions. This project was one that truly allowed me to free my mind and look at everyday things I see in a more creative and expressing way. During this project m...

1. Color plays a huge part in all of our lives in many different ways. For some people certain colors can be linked to certain memories or feelings that can bring them a certain emotion. Reds commonly are used to present danger but also is commonly used to represent love. A single color can have a different triggering of emotion for one person than it does for another. 2. The most intriguing theoretical fact about color is that it can play affect into sports and competitions. Hearing that Red may hold a player or competitor to an advantage was a theory I had never heard of but find to be very interesting. Though it is only a theory it makes me wonder why the mind works in that way; simply reacting based on color. 3. The study about how color affects the idea of time was one that really impacted me. This is because maybe when the room you are in whether it is at work or at home has an effect on how fast or slow time seems to be going by. This may be because the emotions that are sli...

Key Concepts: After watching the videos and doing the reading I learned that art is constantly evolving. The ideas of influential change and they tend to change the ideas in which people view art and understand it. Though this is not talked about in the videos or reading, music interest changes over time as does other forms of art such as, painting, poetry, and plays. The change on art aesthetics changed and continues to change over time. Another topic discussed is how our brains are able to distinguish things in art even though they are 2 dimensional. Our brains allows us to read into what we are seeing and develop an understanding of it. Lastly a key concept also talked about is the use of color to please the eye and allow it to look like it is 3 dimensional when we look at it. This allows us to look deeper into it, as talked about in the video, symmetry is also used to do this.  Morris Weitz "what I am arguing then, is that the very expansive, adventurous character of ar...

Creating the new Gmail was very easy and quick while creating the blog took me a little more time but was also pretty quick. I did run into one problem while using Google Chrome but to fix it used Safari instead. Throughout this course I expect to learn different aspects of art and to learn about different artists and their styles. Ive taken one online course and I'm confident that this one as well will be one I enjoy and am able to keep up with. 1)I have been told that I am not able to succeed and I have worked hard enough to prove otherwise. 2) I learn from my mistakes and try to take something from every experience 3) I don't give up after one failure
