Color Theory and Emotional
Effects
Color is
used in art to reflect what is shown in front of the artist. Artists try to
reflect the same colors of their real-life subjects as much as they can with
the use of colors. While others use colors to affect emotions of those who see

Color video, the use of lighting in respect to colors made the biggest impact
on me. Lighting affects colors in art just as other colors affect each other
when they are put together. The techniques used with colors also relies on the
lighting of the environment, and artists pay attention to this when they start
creating their art.

painting brought out negative feelings, while the brighter colors used by David
in his art excited the feelings of the people based on the taste. People now
may have different feelings when they see the art that was created in the past
