Art Lecture "Response to Color Science"

This is the first art lecture that I attended. It is about color science and the basic concept on how to apply the knowledge of human visual perception with computer graphic. The speaker gave an introduction by showing how color science is used in filmmaking. He gave examples such as cloning actors at different angles, seeing an actor at a far distance, and even shrinking or increasing the size of an actor. The speaker then explained the different parts and functions of the human eye and showed some pictures and informed on how the pictures really look like in comparison to how we see them. The speaker also played with the mixture of colors and lighting and explained how they can steer us to focus on a particular object. For example, placing warm colors such red and orange around an object, makes that object stand out. On the other hand, placing cooler colors, such as blue, around an object will make that object seem further away and less attractive.
Color science can fool and manipulate the human eye by making fake objects appear realistic and unconsciously forcing the human eye to focus on particular objects.
