Light and Color in Art

Color is an integral part of the reality which surrounds us. Each item becomes visible through light. Shadows are weak lights. Light and shadows help us conceptualize the dimension of items, the anaglypgh and color. Man began to use color in his creations since ancient times, as he realized that it comprises a substantial element of each construction and a determining factor in the process of synthesis. Nowadays, the capability of using colors is even greater through the use of computers.

This lecture will intepret the use of light and the evolution of color throughout the history of human creation, that according to Wassily Kandinsky: "Color is the key. Eye is the hammer. Soul is the piano with many strings.”
