ART USING COLOR IN RELATION TO EMOTIONS

Art is defined as the expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, typically in a visual form (e.g., painting, sculpting, drawing, etc.) producing works to be appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power [9]. Since the link between color and psychology was discovered there have been many new breakthroughs. Some of these breakthroughs have been due to an increase in funding [2]. This article explores how colors have a major effect on how people feel (calm, sad, angry etc.), and even in dismal high school classrooms, emotions reveal themselves in the form of art and colors. Looking at the works of famous artists (Leonardo Da Vinci, Henri Matisse, Michelangelo etc.) a small notice of the use of color, posture, and expression of the art adds a different level of perception and appreciation. The perception of a color assigned to an emotion change, depending upon the person's previous experiences, influences and the person's psychological response to it.
