Week #5, Colour and painting
Color plays an important role when trying to express emotions in artwork such as a painting. This is because we tend to match certain colors to certain emotions even though emotions are not visual and don't have colors. For example if you were to pick a color to express happiness what would it be? Probably yellow. If you were trying to make a peaceful and calming painting would you use vibrant colors and Lots of red. Probably not. So, I researched and learned how different Colors can mean different emotions: Colors and emotions Black. Black is the color of mystery, but it also symbolizes the darkest feelings: grief, despair, and sorrow. Just as black can't get any darker, these feelings can't get any deeper. Black is also the color of domination and isolation. It can be used to hide how you really feel. Grey Grey is the color of neutrality, dullness, apathy and even depression.
