Launching the Imagination - Chapter 2: My thoughts
This week's chapter was on color, and it covered virtually all aspects of the subject ranging from the difference of additive (light) and subtractive (pigment) color to how color influences the way we perceive art. I was impressed with the variety of color wheel models, there are actually quite a few, some of which are far more complex than the standard design. There were a good amount of examples in the book, many of which were able to be interacted with in some way. Like last week, some of the information was rather elementary, but it definitely went into further detail than a basic art class skimming over the topic of color. Beyond that, the examples that they used covered about every type of art you can imagine, and showed how color effects them all. Personally, the most interesting fact was that "warm" colors are often physically warmer besides being psychological warmer. I enjoyed this chapter, so far the authors have done a good job and I expect the book to continue to be informative.
