In Giotto's "Lamentation", color is used to create emotion by using soft colors. Color used are a light blue, pale pink, soft green, creme color, light orange, etc. I believe these colors create a calm emotion such as sadness or worriness. The shade of blue that was used takes over almost of half of the picture, I believe this shade of blue is gloomy. If any bright or even dark colors were added to the painting it could take away the importance of the painting. The use of color does have a…
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 small sample size and…
Scholder only used color to describe these two opposite scenes. In Hell, there is a black and red half-length portrait. The half-length portrait is smiling and showing his red teeth, and he has two tentacles. He looks like a demon, and he always treats people. The half-length portrait covers ¾ of the picture. The color of the background is red. It gives red light to the black portrait, so the portrait has reflected red color. In Heaven, there is also showing a half-length portrait which covers ¾…
Symbolism plays a key role in many novels to convey a certain purpose and to form the theme. Within the novel The Scarlet Letter, Hester Prynne must model a scarlet red A on her bust or, in other words, breast. This A means many things throughout the book. Hester Prynne has committed a crime in which her village has strongly been disgusted by. Her punishment affects the entire village in many different ways. The way her child, Pearl, had viewed the letter on Hester’s bosom was definitely not…
“Snow White” is a tale that follows the on-going conflict between Snow White and her stepmother, a conflict otherwise known as the Electra complex. Most overlook, however, the psychological development of the main character, Snow White. An interpretation by Ian Robinson claims that many fairy tales such as “Snow White” involve the breaking of a command or a taboo. He believes there can be no psychological growth until the old rules are broken and the new order can flourish (Robinson). In the…
Paramjeet introduced the three primary colours (red, yellow and blue). She also explained that these primary colours could be used to make secondary colours. In order to assess Namik’s learning about the primary and secondary colours, Paramjeet asked him to remember the colours they used for the experiment. She also mentioned that carefully look for the other colours after the experiment. Paramjeet started the experiment with the…
Feminism, and the idea of gender equality, clashes harshly with the cultural sense of traditionalism in both Grandma the Progressive and The Dancing Girl through male and female perspectives. Within these stories, traditional stigmas and unequivocal prejudice is placed on Thai woman causing conflict and a reevaluation of gender equality. Although humorous, Grandma the Progressive focuses on an aristocratic and traditional idol for the granddaughters to become. Grandma dwells on the past and uses…
study was to investigate whether different colour tones of red and green affected sweetness perception. An experimental design was engaged where 95 first-year Psychology students voluntarily sampled four 20mL coloured liquids and rated their sweetness on a scale of 1-10, with 1 being no sweetness distinguished and 10 where the liquid was extremely sweet. The major results indicated that light red samples were perceived sweeter than dark red, and that light green samples were perceived sweeter…
good inference. An example of an argument without a strong inference would look like this: Hayley doesn 't own any red clothing and when given the choice of getting a red or blue car she chose blue. Therefore, Hayley must hate the color red. As you can see although both premises are factual and true they do not give enough evidence or inference to conclude that Hayley hates the color red. Another condition that is needed for a good argument is that the stated premises be true or very plausible.…
labeled in red we correlate it to be more negative. Every time an individual forms a specific prime in regards to color it has a direct influence on their behavior. This affects them without them necessarily knowing it has altered their conscious awareness (Elliot, Maier, Binser, Friedman, & Pekrun, 2009). This effect doesn’t allow for an individual to be aware of what effects color priming actually has on them and the specific factor that contributed to such effect. To clarify, red has been…
