Light and color can
influence how people perceive the area around them. Different light sources
affect how the colors of walls and other objects are seen. Specific hues of
colors seen under natural sunlight may vary when seen under the light from an
incandescent (tungsten) light-bulb: lighter colors may appear to be more orange
or “brownish” and darker colors may appear even darker. Light and color of an
object can affect how one perceives its positioning. If light or shadow, or the
color of the object, masks an object’s true contour (outline of a figure) it
can appear to be shaped differently from reality. Objects under a uniform light-source
will promote better impression of three-dimensional shape. The color of an
object may affect whether or not it seems to be in motion. In particular, the
trajectories of objects under a uniform light source. This could possibly be
interpreted as interference between motion and color perception, both of which
are more difficult under variable lighting. (By: Carl Jung, color psychology)
For my first task, I am required
to prove a statement provided by Carl Jung, a color psychologist. Below, I will
show images to prove and confirm of the phenomenon takes places.
Light and color can influence how
people perceive the area around them.

The wavelength of the reflected
light determines the color that we see. For example when a banana is peeled,
the light waves will reflect off the banana and hit on the light-sensitive
retina at the back of the eyes and that is how we can see colors through our
eyes.
Different light sources affect
how the colors of walls and other objects are seen.

Colors and light
Objects under a uniform light-source will promote better impression of a three-dimensional shape
Figure 7.
Uniform light can be printed in a
static shadow and in result, it allows the eyes to precisely accurately
pinpoint to the edges and the height of the object using the shadow and surface
of the object by the tone of the color on the object.
The color of an object may affect
whether or not it seems to be in motion.

Figure 10.
Figure 11.
If an object is in motion or
moving, the color of the object may create a blurry effect which also is known
as motion blur. The effect will be seen only if the object is moving in an
extremely fast speed or the camera is set with a slow setting.
In particular, the trajectories
of objects under a light source whose intensify varies with space are more
difficult to determine than identical objects under a uniform light source.
This could possibly be interpreted as interference between motion and color perception,
both of which are more difficult under variable lighting.

Figure 14.
Figure 15.
Due to the “interference between
motion and color perception” same objects will become different when they are
in motion. For example when the object is moving under a light source, the tone
and shadow will change according to the positioning of the object and at the
same time, changes how the eyes interpret the object shape and color with an
identical object.

Above is the outcome of my Task 1
exercise which I am required to set a theme and using a camera capture images
to create my own spectrum color. I have a result of origami theme and rainbow
for my theme. The image above is capture using different film of color film
paper using a camera and editing in Adobe Photoshop to combine in repetitive
format to create it.
Task 2 (Spectrum of
Colors)
Color psychology is a study of
color to determine the human behavior as colors are to be said to have mental
and physical effect on human. According to Leslie Harrington form the Color
Association of United Kingdom, has stated that colors will influence how one
feels for some reasons, personal preference and also cultural or social levels.
For example, “when you look at blue, your mood will be down and feel moody.”
RED
The color RED has the longest wavelength
among all the colors and is often being said as the most powerful or strong
color in the spectrum. RED is not the most
visible color but it has a property to attract attention just like the red
wording on warning signboards all around the world. On physical effect wise, RED has an effect of when being looked on, it
increases ones heart rate and also make time moves faster. The color RED possesses two types of qualities which is it gives
a friendly and lively stimulation but also can at the same time gives an
aggressive and demanding feeling.
Positives: Courage, Strength, Warmth, Energy, Excitement, Stimulation, Masculinity.
Negatives: Defiance, Aggression, Visual Impact, Strain.
BLUE
BLUE is often said to
be an intellectual color, also known as the color of mind. Unlike RED color, The BLUE
color has mental effect on us and it stimulates the physical reaction.
Different level of blues determines different feels. For example, a strong BLUE instill clear thoughts while soft BLUE gives a calming type of effect which helps
when in concentration. Even though BLUE
gives us a calming expression, but it might also perceives cold, unfriendly and
unemotional (feeling blue) expressions.
Positives: Intelligence, Communication, Trust, Efficiency, Serenity, Duty, Logic,
Coolness, Reflection, Calm.
Negatives: Loneliness, Unfriendliness, Coldness, Emotionless, Moody.
YELLOW
YELLOW has a similar
wavelength like RED which stimulates emotion.
Psychologically, YELLOW is at the top and
with the correct tone of color, it can help promote ones self-esteem and also
spirits. But however, using too much or a wrong tone of YELLOW, will cause anxiety, fear and also when comes to worst
results in lower self-esteem.
Positives: Optimism, Confidence, Self-esteem, Emotional Strength, Friendliness,
Creativity.
Negatives: Irrationality, Fear, Emotional Fragility, Depression, Anxiety, Suicide.
GREEN
GREEN is at the
center of the spectrum color and it represents balance. Without any restraints,
the color will strike the eyes and giving a resting, comfortable feel. Often
people calls GREEN as the color of
relaxation and also considered as the color of life because our Earth is
covered mostly in greenery which indicates life. However, nothing is perfect
because GREEN also will make people feel
bland and bored.
Positives: Harmony, Balance, Refreshment, Rest, Restoration, Reassurance,
Environmental Awareness, Equilibrium, Peace.
Negatives: Boredom, Stagnation, Blandness.
3D Emotion Box Project
Emotion Box Sketch
Colors used: White (outer circle), Blue, Red, Green, Yellow, Black.
Materials: Ring, Ping Pong balls, Color and Non-color Strings, Ring
Circle.
To make this Emotion box, I choose to have white for the outer circle is
because everything we see before it reflects with light is white. The colors
inside represents the psychology colors that we see which is Red, Blue, Green
and Yellow which represents many emotions all in one. The black in the middle
represents all the emotions color combination resulting in no color which is
black. The color strings represents different feeling coming out of the human
brain.
Digital Image of the Emotion Box
Final project
Due to some material problem, the final outcome of my emotion box I different
because I made some corrections. As the concept is still the same, the emotion
box now is rectangle but the white remains the same meaning. I have reduce the
black in the emotion box and keep only the psychology colors.
MONOCHROME
We are required to create a monochrome storyboard. The color theme I
chose is RED.
Below is the outcome of organizing the pictures that I have taken based
on the order they are taken.
