1. There have been many studeies that have demonstrated that color affects a wide variety of psychological and physiological responses. The color red is believed to increase appetite. Blue surroundings will significantly lower a person's blood pressure, pulse and respiration.

2. The theoretical aspect of color that most intrigues me is the color blue. The reason blue fascinates me is because it can lower a person's blood pressure, pulse and breathing. The more I think about the color blue and the places that have blue in them such as doctor's offices I realize that blue really does have a calming effect. I think that is why doctor's scrubs are blue as well, they want to make sure you are calm before you have surgery.


3. In the color video, June was back in London trying to paint what she saw in Venice, and she had used alot of dark reds and oranges for the building on the left with the man outside of it on the boat. When this was first shown  I felt like the left side of the painting was in some sort of trouble. I didn't like it, I almost felt worried for the man on the boat in the painting. Right after that was shown, June herself said the exact same thing as what I was thinking.
 

4. In the feelings video, Goya's paintings jumped out at me the most. The paintings from when he was in his mid 40s and later were extremely dark. The people in the paintings looked like they were either zombies or were in some sort of hell. The people were trying to get to freedom but by the colors Goya used you were able to tell that they were trapped forever. His paintings just seemed very dark and filled with misery.
