EL COLOR
“La visión del color es una percepción. Sin la mente no existiría el color” Isaac Newton.
El color es una propiedad de los cuerpos que depende de la luz del entorno y de su intensidad; todo lo que percibimos sobre el color en los distintos objetos que nos rodean es en realidad una sensación creada por nuestra mente con la ayuda de la luz que se refleja sobre los cuerpos y llega hasta nuestros ojos.
La luz del entorno (luz solar) esta compuesta por varios colores, Isaac Newton demostró esto hace muchos años, al descubrir que la luz blanca o luz solar se descomponía en siete colores (algunos documentos dicen que son seis, pero que Newton incluyo el cian para completar siete colores por que se asume que el 7 tenía un significado místico para él [1]) cuando pasaba a través de un prisma; este proceso de descomposición de la luz se puede apreciar claramente los días en los que aún cuando llueve, el sol está presente, ya que los rayos del sol pasan a través de las gotas de agua y permiten ver el espectro de colores al que hemos denominado arco iris.
De este proceso de descomposición de la luz obtenemos que el color blanco se puede producir mezclando los colores que componen el arco iris (violeta, índigo, cian, verde, amarillo, naranja y rojo); y que el color negro se puede definir perfectamente como la ausencia de la luz.
Cada color que percibimos, es en realidad la luz que se refleja sobre los objetos, pero no todos los objetos reflejan la luz exactamente igual a la que reciben, es decir, los cuerpos pueden reflejar solo una parte de la luz y en una intensidad diferente, esto es lo que permite que veamos diferentes colores, por ejemplo un objeto que percibimos como negro es un objeto que absorbe toda la luz si...

In the eighteenth Century, Colonial European and Mexican artists were fascinated with the emergence of racial blending within the Spaniard bloodline. Works of art began displaying pieces that portrayed three major groups that inhabited the colony— Indians, Spaniards, Africans and other ethnicities. This new genre of painting was known as Casta painting and portrayed colonial representations of racial intermarriage and their offspring. Traditionally Casta paintings were a pictorial genre that was often commissioned by Spaniards as souvenirs upon their arrival from New Spain (Mexico). And yet, why would such works have so much fascination despite its suggestive theme? It is clear that Casta paintings display interracial groups and couples, but they seem to have a deeper function when it comes to analyzing these works. These paintings demonstrate that casta paintings were created to display racial hierarchies within the era. They depict the domestic life of interracial marriages and systematically categorized through a complete series of individual paintings. It is clear that the fascination of these works reflected the categorizing of new bloodline that have been emerging and displays these characters in a manner that demonstrates the social stereotypes of these people by linking them with their domestic activities and the items that surround them as well. Despite the numerous racial stereotypes that are illustrated in these works, casta paintings construct racial identities through visual representations.

In the novel “Cuban Color in Tourism and La Lucha” the author and anthropologist L. Kaifa Roland describes her journey in Cuba and the different people she encounter with that describe to her the life of a citizen in Cuba. Throughout her stay in Cuba, Roland describes the different situations people go through in Cuba economically and gender wise. She also mainly describes “La Lucha” which in the book is identified as the struggle people face and go through every day in order to get by in Cuba economically. However, the thing that caught my attention the most in the book was how women get mistreated and seen by people differently. Through my paper I am going to be discussing how women in Cuba get discriminated not just by their color or where

Color is an important resource in visual communication. Color has many functions. It can be used to classify people, places and things. The colors of a flag can designate a nation. Corporations and universities use color to distinguish identity. With maps, colors can distinguish water, land, etc. They can mark and identify separate elements. The colors become icons. Color can convey an interpersonal message without language. This can be expressed in the colors that we wear such as ‘the power tie’ or colors that indicate safety and warning. C...

El Recado es un cuento de la esperanza y amor. La protagonista viene a visita Martin, pero el no esta en su casa. Entonces ella esperas en peldano, y esperanza que el aparece pronto. Esperanza es una palabra muy importante en el cuento. La palabra es usado directamente tres veces en la obra 26, 31, y 39. Tambien en el principio de el cuento todo es de un afecto sensual. Mientras ella esta en el peldano vea el jardin de Martin. Da caracteristicas humanos (personificacion) a los flores en el jardin ( 6-7), estos caracteristicas como honesto y graves probablamente tambien de su amante. Luego ella hace una comparacion directa entre el y el jardin “Todo el jardin es solido, es como tu, tiene una reciedumbre que inspira confianza.” Este oracion no solamente tiene un simil, pero tambien ayuda en mostrando la comparacion a un mujer de un hombre. El hombre es personificado con palabras de fuerza, mientras todo el cuento muestra una mujer debil.
The Spanish culture is rich in history. They demonstrate a sense of family, religion and community in order to maintain their heritage. My paper will review briefly the Spanish culture and evaluate the contrast and similarities between them and African Americans. This flow chart will range with differences and similarities on religion, socialization and there place in the future of our country. This journey allowed me to learn a great deal.
The narrator was unaware of his “colored” origin early on in his life. He was observant of his surroundings, but never...
Imagine yourself in an art museum. You wander slowly from cold room to cold room, analyzing colored canvases on stark white walls. When you reach a particular work, do you prefer to stand back and take everything in at once? Or do you move so close to the painting that the individual brushstrokes become apparent? Several different sensory processes occur in your brain during this trip to the art museum; the majority of them involve visual inputs. How does your brain put together all the information that your eyes receive? This raises questions ranging from depth of field to color. The ideas of color perception and color theory are interesting ones. How do humans account for color and does it truly exist? I think that by examining not only the neurological on-goings in the brain, but by learning about color through philosophy, and even art, a greater understanding of it can be reached.
Several psychological studies conclude that the mind has adapted universal reactions to colors. While these responses are subjective depending on the region, there are general responses that exist in relation to the human population as a whole. According to journalist Sarah Marinos, color psychology professor Jill Morton’s global studies have reported that when surveyed on the significance of specific colors “black was linked to bad luck and mourning” (70). Black now encompasses strong “association(s) with impurity” (Sherman and Clore 1020). Many have come to see black as a sign of moral pollution, “not because immoral things tend to be black, but because immorality” (Sherman & Clore 1020) contaminates much like dirtiness might taint a clean mind. Prejudice against the color black has established not only its negative connotation in language, but a deep resentment within America’s roots linked to its progression into a cultural identity. Though there appear to be no longer a “scientific justification for racial classification” (Banton 1111), there is an obvious “dualism in language” (Wilson 112) which links the color with its “cultural representations” (Wilson 112), i.e. Blacks, or African Americans. It has arrived to the point that the “achromatic hue[s]” (Wilson 113) has become defined “solely from the viewpoint of heritage” (Wilson 113). As
It is a wonderful thing to witness a sunset and see all the various colors that occur in our world. What would it be like if we didn’t view the sunset with all the beautiful colors that are perceived in it? According to Brown, Lindsey, Mcsweeney, and Walters, (1994) without factoring in brightness, newborn infants cannot differentiate between colors. This was found by testing infants in forced-choice preferential looking experiments or FPL experiments (Brown et al., 1994). It is astonishing to think that we haven’t always viewed the world in various vibrant colors. So at what point do we as individuals develop full color vision?
... through some changes over time, and it is now an accepted fact that color is truly in the eye of the beholder. "This is due to the fact that, as sensed by man, color is a sensation and not a substance." ( 3 )
In this interesting topic of the psychology of colors, the most crucial pattern is the meaning of each color and his impact on the individual as it is represented as the following:
