The movie theater is a great place. You enjoy some quality time with family or friends all while watching a creation brought to you by a CASINO. No just kidding, it's definitely a movie theatre, Edwards Cinema at Irvine Spectrum to be exact. But can you see why when I saw this the first time, I thought "Casino?"
In case you don't see why, here's my interpretation. The colors being used here a bright and mainly warm colors, although there are a few cool colors as well. However, the warm colors draw you in, which is a lot like casinos with their warm colors saying "Come loose all your money here. It will be fun." Not only that, but the way the neon lights are shaped replicate that of a casino; AND even the number 21, which actually represents the number of the theater, also gives a hint that only those of 21 years of age can come in.
Now if you aren't 21 years of age and have never seen a casino, what else does this look like? A carnival ride! These colors are also reminiscent of the colors seen at carnivals and fairs, which we all know children look forward to.
All in all, the theater invokes the sensation of "having fun" with all its twisty and fancy neon lights. The colors help accentuate that feeling, so anyone looking at this, whether an adult or a child, will get the idea that this place is loads of fun.
Now, go have fun at the movie theater.

Really great post and great discussion of color - you are right that we are drawn to warm colors (dominant colors) before cool colors (recessive colors) and that it has a huge impact on how we see things
ReplyDeleteWe will start lots of discussions about warm and cool in class soon
Nice job!
