what is color?
more than any other element of
design, color has the ability to make
us aware of what we see
![Page 6: INTD 53 what is color? more than any other element of design, color has the ability to make us aware of what we see](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649e865503460f94b88bff/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
color described by two very different methods:
•objectively—referring to the laws of chemistry, physics, and physiology
•subjectively—referring to the concepts found in psychology

our eyes are attracted to color—color perceived before details
![Page 8: INTD 53 what is color? more than any other element of design, color has the ability to make us aware of what we see](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649e865503460f94b88bff/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
physiologically
color is a sensation of light transmitted to brain through eye
distinguish color after light passes through cornea & pupil and strikes retina—retina passes messages to fovea which transmits to brain

physiologically
light—waves of energydifferent wavelengths
eye/brain reactions differ—no absolutes

how light gives objects color
sunlight is composed of all the colors in the spectrum—when bent/refracted creates the
visible spectrum
![Page 17: INTD 53 what is color? more than any other element of design, color has the ability to make us aware of what we see](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649e865503460f94b88bff/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
how light gives objects color
when light strikes a surface, some wavelengths are absorbed while others are reflected—
surface color

factors in perception
our perception of objects depends upon:•physical factors•psychological factors•cultural factors
examples?
![Page 19: INTD 53 what is color? more than any other element of design, color has the ability to make us aware of what we see](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649e865503460f94b88bff/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
factors in perception
media & techniques
•oil, acrylics, water•canvas, board or paper•grounds or bases used•brands of paint•pencil line or sketch in watercolor•yarns and fibers; sheen and texture•ceramic glazes•printmaking
![Page 20: INTD 53 what is color? more than any other element of design, color has the ability to make us aware of what we see](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649e865503460f94b88bff/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
factors in perception
eye and brain
some colors are perceived more easily than others
![Page 21: INTD 53 what is color? more than any other element of design, color has the ability to make us aware of what we see](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649e865503460f94b88bff/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
factors in perception
psychology and culture •memory•experiences•intelligence•cultural background
vary from individual to individual
color not perceived differently…perception just means different things to different people
![Page 22: INTD 53 what is color? more than any other element of design, color has the ability to make us aware of what we see](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649e865503460f94b88bff/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
local, optical and arbitrary color
quality of light further determines quality of color that we see
local color—•most natural•reproduces effect of colors as seen in white daylight•exactly as we expect
blue sky, red barn, green grass
![Page 23: INTD 53 what is color? more than any other element of design, color has the ability to make us aware of what we see](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649e865503460f94b88bff/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
local, optical and arbitrary color
quality of light further determines quality of color that we see
optical color—•as seen in lighting conditions other than white daylight•rendered in a somewhat naturalistic way
in rain or thunder, at sunset, in indoor lighting
![Page 24: INTD 53 what is color? more than any other element of design, color has the ability to make us aware of what we see](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649e865503460f94b88bff/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
local, optical and arbitrary color
quality of light further determines quality of color that we see
arbitrary color—•allows artist to impose his/her feelings and interpretation of color onto images•natural color is abandoned for artist’s choice
![Page 25: INTD 53 what is color? more than any other element of design, color has the ability to make us aware of what we see](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649e865503460f94b88bff/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
participation activity:local, optical & arbitrary color
…using magazines, photographs or images from the internet, collect and label three examples of each of the different categories—local, optical, & arbitrary…present examples professionally (black ink, block lettering, use of borders, etc…)
*remember that this is the first of many activities that will need to be included in your portfolio—plan your layout accordingly*
