Module 3

              1.The concept that color is nothing that any item intrinsically possesses; rather it is the way in which light is absorbed or refracted is absolutely intriguing. The effect of color on our emotions is a fascinating area of research, given the complexities and variables of its effect. The meaning of any given color can be so diverse and multifaceted in the viewers emotional response and interpretation; aside, from the cultural differences that different colors are synonymous with.
              2.The most fascinating aspect of color for me is how fluid and delicate it can be; in relation to the environment, and our perception. In the Color video, the artist who was painting a landscape in Venice had troubles replicating the same emotion with the same color palette, because the lighting was different in her studio.  
3. In the Color video, the biggest impact to me was Mark Rothko’s commission for the Four Seasons Restaurant. The depth and emotion illustrated in his painting were intentionally made to feel patrons feel cluster phobic and uncomfortable; which I believe Rothko achieved in his final product. His ability to convey these particular emotions; specifically, discomfort is noteworthy, due to the fact that Rothko relied on intuition.
4.The transition during the Renaissance from religious art into humanistic art represents not only shift in the perceptions and purposes of art, but also dynamic shifts in the techniques, colors, and mediums artists use to portray emotion. Da Vinci exemplifies these differences in the Mona Lisa. He accentuates her individuality by literally making her radiate; which previously was only used to illustrate the power in God; therefore, I surmise that it is the context and techniques that elicit an emotional effect for me.
