Color in Art.The following article Color in Art illustrates the importance of choosing the right piece of art for the right place. Also covered is the emotional effect certain colors are likely to have upon us, some colors lifting our spirits and other colors relaxing us. Color in Art If you haven't just fallen in love and bought a work of art, or purchased it for investment, then you may want to choose a piece of art for a particular location. The size of the space has an impact on your chosen piece of art. For example, a big office foyer would suit a large work that could dwarf your living room. If you decide to select more than one work to hang together, create a common theme.For example, African wildlife, or still life oils. Try framing them similarly for continuity. For more information on hanging groups of works, see the article at http://www.clickart-gallery.com/display.asp Now we'll look the impact of color on a space and your emotional reactions. Different cultures attach different color meanings, so this article will assumewestern culture. You can change the look of an artwork with the mat (the colored board around the painting) color and the frame. This can also accent different colors in the artwork itself. By changing the mats and frames, you can balance a strong color with your existing decor. Obviously paintings use many colors in the composition, but some works, such as landscapes, are often dominantly green or brown, seascapes blue and so on. Red is an exciting color that will make your pulse race. It's associated with passion. It's warm and vital but needs space. A red work of art should be placed in a large, light colored area, or on a very dark wall to accent it's presence. Mixing red with varying amounts of white creates pink. It's more subdued than pink and is regarded as relaxing and romantic. Often used with purples, pinks can be used in smaller spaces to create romance and intimacy, such as a bedroom. They would look best on a white, lilac or lavender wall. Blue reminds you of infinite space like the sky. It's a cool color so can seem cold, but navy tones (blue mixed with black) are safe, secure and dependable. Intense or dark blues would look best in a larger space, contrasted againstlemon, white or greens. A strong blue can make beige look muddy. Dark blues need light spaces, as they will take too much light from around them. Yellow is a bright color that makes people feel happy. Yellows are good for anywhere you want to add brightness and fun. You can place a yellow work on almost any other color however, like blue, intense yellow can makebeige look muddy. Greens are common in landscapes, so they bring the outside in. They are calming and relaxing and often include blues and yellows (combining blue and yellow creates green). This color you can use almost anywhere to give a feeling oftranquillity. Purple is rich, warm, luxurious and gives a feeling of dependability. Light purples, such as lilac and lavender can be placed in smaller areas on most backgrounds, but darker purples such as plum shouldn't be placed on a dark wall and may look out of place on blues. Orange is bright, happy and stimulating. It's a learning color so it can be used in rooms with high activity, such as kids or family rooms. Orange based artworks may look psychedelic on walls painted in blues or purples. Black and white are stark and can make a space feel sterile, so need to be used carefully. They are good to use when you want only to focus on the subject of the artwork and not introduce more color, such as a black and white print.
