Colour theory

Kandinsky's Colour theory

Kandinsky was interested in colour itself and music. He was fascinated by the effect of music and how it can reflect so much power and emotion, he wanted to bring this into art.

He was inspired by the works of Scriabin and Wagner which allowed Kandinsky to experience his own spiritual experience with art and music.

Study task 1 - Establishing a research question

Following on from my year 1 cop, I became really interested in colour as an overall subject. This is something I really wanted to explore and research further - in all aspects of the word. It would be interesting to look into colour theory and the psychology of colour. I could also look at gender in colour, the gender norms and why pink is associated with girls and blue with boys. Colour portrays various emotions in illustration and I find it interesting how artist deploy certain colours for specific audiences. I aim to do some broad research into colour and the start by refining my research ideas to help me start thinking about developing a more specific question.
