At this time, World War I was over and an entire generation was viciously destroyed. It was a scary time for everyone around the age of eighteen, so…

during my visit to the art museum that I actually felt I disliked. It doesn’t seem like the picture is meant to portray sadness, but the colors are very greyed and overall it’s just the opposite of the previous piece I chose. This picture is of the winter and the colors used portray that quite well. It’s very greyed and cold feeling and while still having a lot of colors doesn’t really give off feelings of warmth. This picture had a profound effect on my mood and even made me feel very…
Color has been around us and even exists in educational setting. Previous studies show the debilitating effect of red on challenging mental tasks (e.g., IQ Test). Here, we hypothesized that perceiving red—a harsh color, will result in lower test scores. There were 32 university students (12 men, 20 women) in the present work. They were randomly assigned to red, blue, and white test papers. Results showed a higher group means from the red test paper condition. This discrepancy is likely due to…

Theme: Our inability to let go of our dreaded past and struggle to find our self-worth clouds our view of any positive future, but we can clear this clouded view by broadening our focal point beyond the limitations of the past. Symbols/Motifs: The white dog: As the image of a white dog appears multiple times throughout this story, we begin to notice its significance. The first time the white dog “appears” is right after Bunny talks to Quoyle about Petal’s death (46). The dog’s timely…
to chose Object 1: Vincent van Gogh, Café Terrace at Night, 1888, oil on canvas, KröllerMuller Museum, Otterlo for my design summary/formal analysis. Two elements utilized in this piece of art are texture and color. Texture is the surface quality of a work (Dewitte, Larmann, Shields 62). Color is the optical effect caused when reflected white light of the spectrum is divided into a separate wavelength (Dewitte, Larmann, Shields 92). Implied Texture is displayed throughout this canvas. Implied…
in the summer time why people tell you not to wear dark colors? The reason being is that dark colors absorb the more light, whereas light colors reflect light, which is why it gets so hot.

Light is a form of electromagnetic radiation that involves microwaves and radio waves.* The colors we see with our eyes are set apart by the wavelength…
