Have you marveled at why we have favorite colors? There are a few causes of this; our brain will receive signals from colors and affects us subconsciously and consciously. This can be attributed with reactions or influenced/induced emotions from certain colors.
Each color has positive and negative viewpoints of reactions or symbolism, without realization this can influence our art styles and how we analyze the meaning of the work. Everything with the sensing of colors is based on each individual’s cultural backgrounds, experiences. This is in flux based on the colors employed in our environment and the context of the display.
Artists could use this to their advantage if taught the feelings due to a color in addition to the behavior leading from it. Aside from the artwork, this can further enhance our lives if utilized with the color’s intention and behavior. One thing that is important to assess, how this can influence our creativity and productivity.
Upon reading this I was beginning to think about how artists think, create, and produce. What makes an artist successfully complete this procedure? Why is this different from non-artists’ thinking and creating art?
A few studies have been conducted within similar research. The answer is due to a slight difference in brain function and structural linguistics. Scans have shown that there is more gray matter within our (artists) brains and causes a subsystem to be constantly active, even when resting.
Beyond that, there is no information as to why we can fixate on creating art while blocking out the rest of the universe. It's a progress that continually feeds itself gratification and forcing us to think in the near future, as in planning to some extent.
Check out these artworks that I created
with this intention in mind!
