1.Color is described in different ways, but the most accurate definitions I found is that color is a visual attribute. As a result, the light is emitted. I found that color has a large affect on emotions; studies have shown that certain colors give an emotional response. For example, in the text book it says that many restaurants use decorations in red because it is belived that appetite and food increases
consumption. The color blue can be a lower person’s blood
pressure, pulse and respiration rate.

2. An aspect of color that is most intriguing is the connection to emotion. This aspect of color is fascinating because it is so interesting how colors can determine the way a person is feeling. For example, anytime I wear a nice bright color I feel excited and full of life. But when I wear black or grey one can tell that i am in a blue mood.

3. In the “Color” video, I loved the works created by Mark Rothko. The colors used in many of his paintings were used to bring emotions to people. His paintings were displayed in restaurants. His paintings were meant to bring out the feeling of entrapment.

4. In the “feelings” video, One of the painters name Goya did his work by using very dark colors, she felt dark colors show emotions of fear and anger. I found this
interesting because I just described this, dark colors make one feel down and blue.
