Biological reactions to colo stimulus

“Psychological component” from the natural effects of nature

We as humans have biological reaction to to certain color stimuli.

Unlearned reactions because they occu naturally

Ex. Leaves turn green because of bioloigcal process → photosynthesis

Collective unconscious

Personal experiences pertaining to color

As humans we have a collecive unconscious reaction to color. These are reactions we are hard wired for and have no conrol over the behavior

Ex. We all associate red with blood cross culturally and univerally. No one is ever taught because we ar hard wired for it

Basically reacting to color stimuli but without the culutral differences kase its born with us parang ganun

Three main types of colors

Primary, secondary, tertiary (tertiary colors my beloved)

The color wheel

Can be categorized into three main types of colors based on the combination of base colors used to create the final colors

Primary colors

Colors that cant be made with other colors.

Red, yellow, and blue (ALL MIGHT MENTION???)

Secondary colors

Colors made from mixing primary colors

(Ex. Green, purple, orange) (GREEN AND ORANGE BAKUDEKU MENTION????)

Intermediate or tertiary colors

Mixing both primary and secondary to make a hybrid.

Quaternary colors

Mix between intermediate, secondary, and primary colors

Monochromatic color scheme

Derived from single base hue and extended using shades, tones, and tints

Tints

Color + white

Tones

Color + gray

Shades

Color + black

Analogous color scheme

colors that are next to each other in the color wheen.

Create serence and comfortable designs

Ex. Red, orange, and yellow

Complementary colors

Colors across the color wheel

Ex. Yellow and blue (YELLOW AND BLUE? BYLER MENTION??)

Pink and green (PINK AND GREEN?? MATCHABLOSSOM MENTION??)

Split complementary colors

One dominant base color and two colors adjacent to its complement

Forms a narrow triangle in the color wheel

Triadic colors

Made of three qually spaced colors around the color wheel

Ex. Iona’s pony sona → orange, green, and purple

Tetradic colors/double complementary colors

Two pairs of complementary colors

Forms a square or a rectangle in the color wheel

Ex. Magenta, orange, green, and blue → scooby doo gang

Color temp

Warm, cool, and neutral

Texture

Used to represnt how an objet appears or feels

Sculptors and archis can create texture in a 3d work by manipulation the surfae texture of a piece

Physical textures

Tactile texture that you can feel when you touch it

Ex. Soft, hard, smooth, rough

Visual texture

Art on a 2d surface like by painters or draftsmen

Creating a visua texture of their work by manipulating materials on their canvas

Sfumato technique

One used by leo da vinci (like the turtle??)

Gives the impression of smooth texture esp when skin is depicted

Different paint colors or tones are blended iwht one another in such a way that it produces a smoothed or softened effect. Often described as blurred too

Impasto

Rather than accurately copying the appearance, many artists use texture to show show their technique and express emotion

Applying thick areas of paint on a canvas → allows you to see the individua brushstrokes the artist has used
