Last week we learned about color and how to use it for digital art effectively. We first learned about the two main color models, the additive, or light color model, and the subtractive, or pigment color model. The additive color model consists of red, green, and blue as it's primary colors and is used for projected works such as film or computer screens. The subtractive color model has the primary colors of cyan, magenta, and yellow, and is used for printed works such as brochures and magazines. Along with that we learned about secondary colors, which are formed by mixing equal amounts of primary colors. The secondary colors formed by mixing the primary colors of the additive color model form the primary colors of the subtractive color model and vice versa. Besides the two color models, we also learned about the color wheel, which includes all of the colors and is laid out in a way in which colors are related. The color wheel shows color relationships such as analogous, complimentary, split complimentary, and others. It also shows color harmonies such as warm and cool colors which invoke feelings in the viewer. Knowing what colors are used for we can now effectively choose colors for our works and know why the colors we choose look good for it. From additional research I have found out that color television has greatly changed the viewing experience for viewers and also caused mental changes. Studies show that before color television existed people often had monochrome dreams and that some people even today still have monochrome dreams who have watched significant amounts of black and white television. I didn't know this before and I'm glad we learned about color because it made me think about what television was like before it was able to be broadcasted in color.
