LEARNER'S JOURNEY LOG | EOC

INTRODUCTION

Like many disciplines, color has its own vocabulary. They play a very important role in our day to day life style. It is not an objective but a subjective creation. The effect of color differ from person to person. each person perceive colors in a total different way. It can affects our brain in both physical and a emotional way. Also, a single color can create depth, separation and mood. even by changing hues and saturation of one color the mood of person can vary.

For eg : The color blue is widely used in mental therapy to reduce stress and reduce the rate of suicide and in Japan they paint the train station walls with the color blue and it has helped to reduce suicide in public spaces by 75%.

Color also plays a very imp role in context to culture.

Also it is very interesting how color has changed the world of cinemas and movies.

We come across so many colors on a daily basis but never looked or took a deeper look to understand the importance.

I got the color PURPLE.

Process of enquiry

To understand this I came made a mind map which is given below.

COLOUR REACTION ON DIFFERENT MATERIALS

MATERIAL: I tried the color purple on three different objects. The color behaves very differently on each object ad also it has very different observations.

· STEEL CUP

- The color dries up in 15-20 minutes

- It required tons of layers to fills it completely.

- The color get collected in different areas.

· PLASTIC SCALE

- The color wont stick at one place

- It was very difficult to hold up the color

- Even after number of tries it didn’t stick at one place.

· SUNBOARD

- The color dries up in 3-5 mins.

- Easy to handle.

- Smooth texture.

COLOUR INTERACTION.

- The color purple more outgrows with the color pink

- Whereas the color green and red makes the purple color look more dull

- The color purple looks dominating with the color green .

LIGHT:

the color applied on the steel cup , is same but due to change in light there is change in hues and the saturation of the color. source of light plays a very important role on the hues of colors.

DENSITY OF COLOUR:

I tried to see how the meaning of color changes with the density of pigment . and as we can see the color gets lighter and lighter by adding more and more water therefore, the meaning of the color purple also changes.

STRUGGLES

When I started with the project I found it difficult to relate with things and to work with a single color. I faced issues regarding time management. I was not able to complete work on time and putting it on google slides. but thanks to gauravi maam for working it all up with us.

CONCLUSION AND LEARNINGS.

This project helped me to look at colors and perceive colors in a total different manner. Because of this now, I understand how colors behave respective of their surroundings.

Also, how emotions have been created because of the colors and how hues and saturation of a single-color leads to different emotions. Each color has a specific meaning and should be used accordingly. People react to a specific color according to their experiences in the past. They relate to a color with an object that they see more often .

This module not only helped to look at things closely and understand them but also helped me to question things . it helped to look at things we see on a daily basis still remained unnoticed. I had a really great experience doing this module.
