The Psychology of Color

The Psychology of Color
The other day in class someone suggested using color to convey motion in our collaborative piece. While we did not end up deciding on that idea I think it is still worth thinking over, in general to better ourselves as artist. As professional "makers" it is our job to stimulate emotion wether good or bad, and the color choices we make no matter how minuscule and tedious they seem are crucial. Each color is going to convey an emotion and effect the viewers ascetic experience. The link above is by no means the say all about the psychology of color, but it is a fun and entertaining way to get you thinking about what our color choices really mean.

Women of Willendorf

Anyone who had taken Art 220 knows this image. Women of Willendorf or Venus of Willendorf. Through Art 220 and 221 this is one of the objects we have learned about that have really resonated with me. I am not sure why, perhaps because of the anonymity of the figure. Or what it represented to the people, health and fertility. Either way the image and figurines repeatedly pop up in my mind and will resonate, I believe for a while.
