Color

#1    #2
Light and color effects our perspective on the things we see everyday. As in Chapter 6, in the Bible in the first lines of the book of Genesis is associated with dark being the bad and light being the good; complementing how thoroughly the tension between light and dark dominated Western thought, which still applies to us today. The intensity of the color in my opinion, has alot to do in determining the mood and the temperature of the artwork.

In Painting #1, it is a painting of the Trinity River and was painted in the year of 2011 by Billy Hassell and is in the Eastfield College Artwork Collection Piece #76. The Artwork temperature is warm, and the shade of the blue sky, brings  a mood that is calm. While using alot of warm colors such as analogous colors brings a relaxing temperature and mood, although my perspective of the Trinity River in Dallas, was very divergent,.It is unknown if Billy Hassell displayed anymore of his artwork, but he is a great artist.

In Painting #2, its brings about a pursuit of happiness. The majority of the colors in the painting are mainly primary and secondary colors. As in Chapter Six, Sir Isaac Newton first discovered in the 1660`s that color is a direct function of light. The painting is outside on a sunny day which creates his own visual perspective of the sunluight. The creative artwork was created with oil  pastel in 1998,by Kathy Windrow, who is the Art Department Chair and is the professor of  drawing, painting and cultural studies. She has her M.F.A. in Painting and Drawing, where she attended at the Southern Methodist University, in Dallas, Texas, in1986
B.F.A., summa cum laude, Studio Art Major, Southern Methodist University, in Dallas, Texas, in1984
 The name of this unique piece of art is called "Becoming Lightness, Its Own Lightness Own". This great painting in the Eastfield College Artwork Collection, piece
#93.
