Color is everywhere, and it has more of an effect on peoples lives than they think. It fascinates me that simply being in a room that is bright colored could boost your mood, where a dark, dull room could make you feel depressed. People choose artwork for rooms based on the color scheme and the feeling they want to bring to the room. Color is used frequently to portray an emotion. Red is a strong color which usually displays strength, heroism, fierceness, or anger. A more cool color like blue could portray happiness, calm and relaxation. A few colors placed together could be used to illustrate anything from harmony to conflict.
My favorite part of the Color movie is towards the end when June is talking about her painting and says while she is painting she has to keep reminding herself of the feeling she had while she was in Venice and saw that scene. I think its critical that you are thinking about how it made you feel, and not letting your current mood be reflected in the painting, if that's not what you want. If you are working on the painting one day while you're really upset, and another day while you're really happy, you can usually tell the difference, unless you stay in that same state of mind that you once had.
I think the Feelings; Emotions and Art video had an impact on me when it was talking about Goya and his change in painting style after his illness. He went from painting colorful scenes of picnics and happy places, to painting darkness and negativity. His change of mind came after eras of war and loss of political hopes. He wanted to paint the life he felt, the oppressive heaviness he felt in the world. The feelings that he had at this point in his life, after all he had been through.
