Understanding ColorWe began our unit by discussing the power of color and how it can effect the way we think and the way we feel. The students learned how different colors group together can have an affect our emotions and how we feel about the scene. The best example of this is in Disney Pixar's animated film Up, the artists use vibrant and bright colors to give the feeling of happiness and joy. But when tragedy strikes, the artists use darker and muted colors to create the feeling of pain and disappointment. Color Systems
