I have never heard of color therapy being used in the way Vaike stated in class and I found it very interesting. I didn’t know this even existed, I mean I knew about colors invoking feelings in people but I didn’t know that color was used to such an extent. I think that all of the pictures that she showed us really helped me realize the importance of color in design and how it affects people. Since I want to hopefully become an Interior Designer this class really helped me to think about the importance of the decor in the interior. I definitely believe that in certain spaces color can have a huge affect on peoples work habits in an office or feelings in a home. For example, prisons are painted a certain color so the inmates are cool and calm. This is just one of the many circumstances in which color is used to make people feel a certain way and I am excited to learn more about this subject as I go on through this faculty.
