Express Yourself with Colour
Colours and emotions
Colours have a powerful impact on our emotions, and understanding the emotional associations of different colours is an important aspect of art. Warm colours such as red, orange, and yellow can evoke emotions ranging from feelings of comfort and warmth to feelings of hostility and anger, while cool colours such as blue and green can be used to display sadness, relief, and grief. Black can be powerful, mysterious, and sexy, but it can also be spooky, gloomy, deathly, or evil.
Expression through colour
When creating a piece of art, drawing on your own experiences and emotions can help you express feelings in your drawing. The surroundings can also contribute to the overall emotional feel of a piece, and the use of colour can evoke powerful emotions in your design. Understanding colour theory, including the colour wheel and different colour models, can help artists and makers to use colour more effectively in their circle art work and create a specific mood or feeling.
Impactful
By using the colour of emotions in circle art making, artists can create powerful and impactful pieces that resonate with viewers. Have a go yourself at making a circle drawing and painting, or colouring it in yourself.
