BEAUTY ADVICE
|
Let's first start it with two facts. First one is that the left side of the human is more beautyful (with better proportions) Second fact is that human brain is accsepting better and faster the information standing on the right. So... have you ever feel, when you look up at the mirror that you like yourself? Probably YES. And have you not like yourself on photo, even if you are with same outlook? YES. This is the explanation:
Спомнете си, че знаем, че от ляво сме по-красиви, с правилен нос и прочие. Също, че мозъка се фокусира на лявата част когато се съсредоточава в нещо. Затова в киното е препоръчително да сядаме в дясно , за да може екрана да се пада в ляво от нас (в нашия визьор). Повечето визуални информации се представят с акцент в ляво, също започваме да възприемаме-четем текста от ляво на дясно и др. Обяснението е просто, когато гледаме огледалото ние виждаме нашия обърнат образ, така че нашия мозък се фокусира на лявата част от гледката, но в огледалния образ лявата част от гледката е лявата страна на лицето ни ( хубавата страна). Затова се харесваме.(виж картинакта) А когато гледаме снимките си, образа е допълнително-изкуствено обърнат от фотоапарата. Когато фотоапарата снима изборажението се завърта преди да се покаже като снимка и добре, че е така защото всички текстове в снимки щяха да са огледално- не четими. Има още едно обеснение, доказано е, че хората много по-често им харесва да се гледат в огледалото отколкото на снимки. Затова те прекарват повече време гледайки се в отгледалото отколкото гледайки се на снимки.(може би, защото това в огледало се движи и ти се усмихва). За тях огледлния им образ е познатия им образ. И тук идва ефекта на познатото, харесваме и възприемаме по-добре това което познаваме по-добре.(Русите хора харесват руси хора, белокожите изразнали в белокожи семейства харесват белокожи хора) Следователно хората познават огледалния си образ по-добре от колкото истинския си. НО за жалост....... образа на снимката е истинския ни образ и това е образът които останалите хора виждат. ЗАТОВА момичета, ако искате да се харесате на някой стойте така, че той да вижда лявата ви страна. За снимка се обърнете за да се вижда лявата ви половина. :) Факт. Но как да вярваме на това твърдение без доказателство. За да проверя направих фото експеримент с лица. Където снимките от ляво са сглобени от лявата половина на лицето а от дясно с дясната половина на лицето. Според вас коя група хора са по- красиви? Да бъда честна за мен пълната симетрия е доста объркваща. И не знам защо, но хората от дясно са ми по-симпатични. Но Вие сами може да прецените коя група са по-красиви. Искам да БЛАГОДАРЯ на приятелите който се включиха. :) |

EXPERTS
|
Critic can be too heavy and strong, that you start thinking does the expert is an expert at all. Being Art expert is very demanding and hard job. The right to say the final word about an artwork is risky and responsible. In the video below we see how Art experts are saying their professional opinion about art piece, which is IKEA print but they doesn't know and their reactions after they found out. Also there is other similar experiments with art expert's opinion which doesn't work by plan and show how hard is to mislead art experts and people.

IMPOSSIBLE COLORS
|
Colors that normally can not be perceived but that can be seen under special circumstances. Color perception is the result of physical structures in the eye and processes in the brain that interpret color. These processes don't capture all colors that can physically exist. Impossible colors are situations where by people report being able to see colors that are beyond normal perception. For Example let see these cases. Complementary Color Combinations - Complement colors are two colors that cancel each other out. When mixed together they appear as grey. For example, there is normally no reddish-green or bluish-yellow as these both look grey to our eyes. However, there are techniques that may allow people to see these colors as colorful as opposed to grey. One technique is to stare at a color until your eyes tire and then look at its complementary color. This is commonly said to work with yellow and blue. Impossibly Dark - Staring at a color causes an afterimage of the complementary color. For example, staring at yellow causes a blue afterimage. If you then look at pure black, you may see a blue that is as dark as pure black. This is normally not possible as blue is always has a lightness to it. Impossibly Bright - Staring at a color to create a complementary afterimage and then staring at white can make a color seem as bright as white. Impossibly Colorful - Staring at blue to create an orange afterimage and then looking at orange can result in a perception of "more orange than orange." These are commonly described as hypercolors.*

PAINTING
|
Colors are very important basic in every beginning. Let's see how they work in the famous painting Mona Lisa of Leonardo Da Vinci. What is the average color of the Mona Lisa or the tones or gammas? If we "pixelate" the painting, get the color of each pixel, and then "average the color", what the colors of Mona Lisa palette will show? When we look at the color summary of the painting we can easily notice tha the color whicha re contain in the painting are analogous which are often found in nature and are harmonious and pleasing to the eye. Is very common to choose one analogous color to dominate, a second to support, the third color is used along with black, white or gray, exacly how is it in aour Mona Lisa palette. The colors are located on similar relative positions of the line for brighnest to darckness, also based in the low lavels of the scale for saturation. This proof that their position in the color white is not actually by accident.In the end we can say that the successful look of the painting Mona Lisa is actually based on color science and is proving how important are the colors in their use.
