The language of colours


www.getvellum.com



We were told to bring two painted sheets for the Colour workshop.
According to my taste, I choose black and white, So I painted an A2 sheet black.



 
At the first of the class, we showed each other our painted sheets and discussed them, after that we were free to select and sort the colours based on our tastes.

                            

 


Then we were divided into three separate groups with nine members and we were given 1/3 of each colours. Then we started to create stories by using them.

Firstly, we tried to indicate a person who is attending the class by bright and sharp colours because of the energy which is existing in the learning sessions. 
After that, we showed the way between table and the kitchen with 
Neutral colours and we used green and blue to show the relaxation around the sofa.



Secondly, we tried to show a person who is dancing through the corridor by using bright and sharp colours to show the amount of energy.

                    



For the third illustration, we created a full body of the person on the wall by using neutral colours for the downside of the body and sharper ones for the upper side.




And finally, we had to create the most impressive art wort out of the least colour so we highlighted ‘E’ on the keyboard as the most used letter in the English language.




Color psychology:

Color psychology is the study of how different colors can affect human emotions, behavior, and perceptions. It suggests that certain colors can have a psychological impact on people, often based on cultural associations and personal experiences.

Here are some examples of how different colors may be perceived:

  • Red: often associated with passion, energy, and excitement. It can also be perceived as aggressive or dangerous.
  • Blue: often associated with calmness, serenity, and trust. It can also be perceived as cold or uninviting.
  • Green: often associated with growth, nature, and harmony. It can also be perceived as envy or greed.
  • Yellow: often associated with happiness, optimism, and warmth. It can also be perceived as caution or warning.
  • Purple: often associated with royalty, luxury, and creativity. It can also be perceived as mysterious or even mournful.

However, it's important to note that color psychology can vary across cultures and individuals. For example, in some cultures, white is associated with purity and innocence, while in others it may be associated with death and mourning.

In conclusion, the language of colours can be a common language between different communities since they have the most impression on people’s daily life.

EPC Workshop, Back to Nature

Image
For this session, we bought a piece of furniture from a charity shop and turned it into a new object. Me, Maryam and Qazaal decided to buy an old wooden cupboard which was useless and bring it to the EPC workshop which had lots of challenges for us!  After we took the cupboard from the shop to the workshop, we started to take the pieces apart and we shared the wooden pieces between us.  Then I had to make a decision that what kind of object do I what to make out of this cupboard! I was looking for something practical and useful for people and also something which is related to the nature due to the originality of the cupboard. The cupboard was made of wood, glasse and the  metal screws, all these materials came from the nature, so I decided to make something that can be used near the trees, in nature. One of my challenges when I go picnic in the jungle or spend time in a local park on weekends, is to put my stuff (a cup of tea or my iPad) on a flat surface, so I thought t...

Space, Time and Everyday Life.

We had Pages 6-27 of Henri Lefebvre’s  Rhythmanalysis: Space, Time and Everyday Life as our reading task for week 7. In "Rhythmanalysis," Henri Lefebvre explores our daily routines, like chores and social activities, to uncover hidden patterns and meanings. He believes that by understanding these repeating rhythms, we can gain insights into how society works. Lefebvre also looks at how modern life, with its fast pace and technology, influences our sense of time and space. The book encourages us to think about how our daily habits and the world around us are connected in meaningful ways. After reading this text, I realized how closely we can examine issues. Rhythms exist everywhere in anything and manifest themselves in different ways. They are more comprehensive in STEM subjects as problem-solving methods and in human perspective. We tend to forget that rhythms have a natural aspect and focus more on the mechanical and man-made aspects. Money sets the rhythm for making things...

Earth and Technology

For this week we had pages 1-14 'The Mangle in Practice,' from Andrew Pickering. In this book he introduces the concept of the "mangle" as a way to understand the complex interactions between humans and technology. Instead of viewing these relationships as predictable and linear, Pickering suggests that they are more like dynamic, evolving processes. He provides examples from scientific and technological practices to illustrate how both humans and machines shape and influence each other in unpredictable ways. The book explores how technologies emerge, evolve, and are continually transformed through interactions with human agents. This perspective challenges traditional views of technology as a passive tool and emphasizes the active, reciprocal relationship between people and the technologies they create and use. It provides a nuanced understanding of the intertwined nature of human actions and technological developments. From this text I realized that When we don'...
