Understanding Color Choices in Art

In a small classroom filled with sketches and paint, Mrs. Johnson passionately instructed her students about the importance of color theory. She explained how different colors could evoke various emotions and thoughts. 'When you look at blue, you might feel calm, while red can make you feel excited or even angry,' she said. After the lesson, she encouraged her students to create their own artworks using the colors of their choice, reminding them to think about how their color selections might affect the audience's feelings. As the students began to paint, one particular student, Lily, felt uncertain. She had always loved bright pinks and greens but wondered if they would convey the message she intended.
