Colour Wheel
After looking at the meaning of colours and what certain colours could suggest to the audience, I started mixing colours and putting my practices of this into my visual journal. By mixing and then painting many different colours with different meanings such as, skin tones, random mixed colours, what people could see as good colours, and the suggested colours for bad. For example these are a few of the symbolism for colours:
'Red: Power, energy, passion, desire, speed, strength, power, heat, love, aggression, danger, fire, blood, war, violence, intensity, celebration, luck, stop or danger.'
Yellow: Joy, optimism, happiness, danger, sunshine, idealism, imagination, hope, summer, gold, deceit, philosophy, dishonesty, cowardice, betrayal, jealousy, disease and warning.
Green: Nature, environment, health, good luck, renewal, youth, vigor, spring, generosity, fertility, jealousy, inexperience, envy, misfortune, start signal,
This was important for me to explore as my main focus was on the relationship between characters and stereotypes. If colours express emotions toward individuals then what the character wears or the environment they are placed in are an important factor as the storyline plays on how the audience feels.
