Color psychology

Almost all my childhood was spent hating pink, not knowing what feminism was, and fully agreeing with everything my mother ever taught me. The earliest memory I have of color preferences consists of saying that I hated pink and that I loved blue. Disliking pink in and of itself is harmless, but I do remember that I also thought it was “girly” and I was a “tomboy”. I tried so hard when I was eight years old to be a boy. I would ride my bike recklessly, I stopped playing with the Barbie dolls that…

my eye. The art work Florida Dreamscape VIII 1984 by Steven Lotz in the Florida paintings really drew me in. Looking at this painting done with Liquetex acrylic on gesso board really spoke with color. The wet liquetex acrylic gives the painting a very wet stature. Making it seem soft yet saturated with color. The Organic shapes on the Lotus flower gave it a distinct place on the board, standing out more than other objects. While the curved lines on the bird with accents of the leaves really…

“Yep.” “So why do you look like your heart is breaking?” Damon grimaces at the soft question. Ric continues, strangely encouraged by the mildly angsty display. “I’m lost, too, you know? Feel like I’ve forgotten something important, but I know it’s just…you.” The vampire’s expression softens and is replaced with a curious moue. He closes the gap between them, moving close enough to touch, but carefully avoids contact. “You don’t see anything at all? You’re sure it’s gone.” “Pretty sure, yeah.…

Anthropology 3308- Signs and Symbols Midterm Question #1: Ferdinand de Saussure famously argued that “the bond between the signifier and the signified is arbitrary.” What does he mean by this and what evidence does he cite to support his position? Are there any problems with Saussure 's claim? Ferdinand de Saussure passed away in 1913 prior to being able to publish his works, but through the collection of lectures and notes his students published his theory of linguistics in a book in 1915…

Standardizing the visual language has always proved to be a challenge amongst all kinds of artists especially filmmakers. This, in turn, has spawned a collection of individualistic visual expressions in respect to every different director and filmmaker. Through the visualisation of elements within both our daily lives and those of imaginative scapes, the audience are subsequently exposed to an array of overt influences that minutely alter their subconscious mindsets. These messages and symbols,…

of human emotions. The Untitled large man accomplished by Tom Claassen in 1999, likewise, is another excellent reflective sculpture. Although these two are both outstanding pieces mirroring experiences in real life, they differ in materials, size, color, and body gesture in order to present different stage of human being, conveying different meanings. With painted blue on metal and plasters, George Segal’s sculpture highly detailed depicts…

Within this paper there are three major areas that I will focus on: narration and the narrators, the visual elements of the comic, specifically the use of color, and the presentation and handling of social issues, including gender and sexuality. This paper will aim to consider and analyze these areas within the comic through the critical approach of narratology, with some assistance from the cognitive approach. First, let’s talk about our narrator. For most of the comic, our narrator is Suzie.…

The Green Bridge II The Green Bridge II, by Lyonel Feininger, in 1916. It is an asymmetrical abstract piece made from oil paint on a canvas. Within the painting, there are three-dimensional objects, which would appear to tell a story. What appears a very busy street loitered with many people, walking to or from somewhere. The appearance of the buildings, surroundings, and the people are not normal, they have a really blocky or distorted appearance. There are many lines and almost textures…

When reading Sula by Toni Morrison some people will see race as the defining feature of the characters. However, when taking a closer look at the text it can be seen that the characters identities are much more complicated than this. It is not simply being black that makes the characters identify as such, but the characters choice in how to view themselves that defines them. This can be seen in the contrasting ways Nel and Sula form identities for themselves. Nel constructs her identity based on…
