COLOR AND EMOTION Mon Dec 10, 6-10pm & Mon Dec 17, 6-10pm Jodi Sandford Gosti
What is color really about? Do we really know? What colors do we connect with specic emotions? My aim is to advance color awareness, and to research peoples conception and use of color in language and art. I propose a workshop that involves categorization exercises and games to understand the commonality of human approach to color. We will name colors, and talk about what their prototypes are. We will talk about what colors are ugly and what colors are beautiful, and how they make us feel. We will identify primary colors in contemporary color theory (i.e., they are not red, blue, and yellow). I hope to create curiosity about what our minds do with color, by creating color illusions. The workshop will be hands on and show and tell. The participants will be asked bring a series of things. Color is a sensation. It is perceived, cognized, and categorized before reaching a linguistic form. Color terms are metaphors of that process. Color as a pigment or a material is very different from color as light. If we consider color from various elds or frames, such as: art, architecture, music, culinary arts, philosophy, psychology, biology, physics, or linguistics, psycho- linguistics, and cognitive sciences, we will be focusing on different aspects of color. The common denominator, is that color is of fundamental importance. Color is an experience; color represents itself and its opposite (or complement); color is universal and at the same time culturally signicant. Color is fundamentally omnipresent in our lives, and yet our awareness of color is limited. Lets see how we attach emotion to color, and how we can agree on how to call it and how to use it.
