¿WHAT DID THE COLOUR MAKE US FEEL?

You should know that colors can give us diferent sensations, it detaches different expressions of the environment, wich can transmit us the sensation of fullness, hapiness, calmness, evilness, etc. Along the history numerous teachers of the height goethe gives and kandinsky have studied the psycology of the colors. As you know the colour can be reflected very well in photographies, is not the same feeling when you see it in black- and- white (monochrome) colours than if you see it colorized, with brightness or for example with contrast. But better than explain im going to show some examples to you.

 
                  TENDERNESS IN BLACK AND WHITE 

This is a photografphy by Sibylle Bergemann taken in Adalbertstrabe street, Berlín 1990. He pretends to show the injustices of rda society. We live in a colorized world, our eyes offer us every million of images with a wide chromatic range. The absence of color projects in us an attractive sensation, precisely because it is not the habitual thing for our perception, abstracts us of the reality.
As Panosky said, the sensation of depth that comes determined for levels from contrast between different tones does not go to any more than to the construction by means of the color of an atmospheric depth. The photography in black and white emphasizes much more the value of the composition. It offers us a more uniform vision of an image, which highlights the contrasts between clearly dark by means of a wide range of gray.
Lights and shades have a paper protagonist in the photography, heighten the forms, the volumes, concentrating our attention on the elements that compose it. Therefore let's prune to say that a photography in black and white is more dramatic or intimate depending on the level of contrast.

On the other hand we have the color, it is defined as the light of an object that enters the eyes, turns into symbol and generates identity. The colors are science, art and religion and allow to construct the world for what they transmit and his meanings. Since hot colors we have the red one, the yellow one and orange. Colds are the cyan, blue, and violet. The contraposition of these groups is called him a hot - cold contrast.

This one is a photography captured by Steve Mccurry in 1995, it shows a few men going fishing on the coast of Sri Lanka. Since we see in these photographies the cold it is represented as the blue sky, the extent, the distance, the devastated and the rigid thing; Cold colors express distancing, transfiguration. This type of colors are in the habit of associating in the main with meanings of shaded, darkness, glooms. Also crystalline, transparent, tranquilizing, diluted or liquid, distant, air and frivolous.


 



    JACK VETTRIANO, BORN IN FIFE, SCOTLAND. 1951

This is a famous painting of jack vettriano it represents the hot colors. Since hot colors we understand the red one, the yellow one and orange. The hot ones express approximation, concentration, intimacy, personal narrowness. They are associated commonly with the meanings of luminously, sunny, stimulantly, opaque, densely, nearly, dry and heavily.


  


To finish I want to say that in all the cultures the colour have had a symbolic significant paper and nowadays they continue having this value.
