-*What the brain sees*-

The brain most quickly and easily responds to Four major attributes of all viewed objects:color, form, depth and movement.
*COLOR*
Every color we see can be made with three basic, primary colors-Red, Green, and Blue AKA RGB

*Secondary color in light are formed when 2 primary colors are mixed together. When mixed equally, red and blue light will make magenta. Green and red will make yellow. Blue and green will create cyan AKA CMYK

*MORE*
if you were to put up a bill board would you use RGB or CMYK? I would use CMYK cause you have more colors to work with. I would use RGB if was working on the internet to make the filel would be much smaller.

*FORM*
Another common attribute of images that the brain responds to is the recognition of form. Form defines the outside adges and internal parts of an object and has three parts: Dot, Shapes, Lines
*DOTS*
The dot is the simplest form that can be written. Hundreds of small dots grouped todether can form complex picthers. Georges Seural and other pantillist artists in the nineteeneenth century used a technique called pointillism.

*LINES*
When dots of the same size are drawn so closely together that there is no space batween them, the result is a line. Lines wather straight, curved or in comdination, evoke an emotion.

*moods of lies*
1.)Curved lines convey a mood of playfulness and movement.
VS
2.)If lines are thick and dark their massage is strong and confingent.
3.)If lines are thin and light with a clear separation between them, their mood is delicate, perhaps a bit timid.

*SHAPES*
The third type of form, shapes. is the comdination. The three basic shapes are parallelograms, circles, and triangles.

*DEPTH*
If humans had only one eye and confined their visual message to drawings on the walls of caves, there would be no need for complex illustrations. But because we have 2 eyes set slightly apart, we naturally see in therr rather than 2 dimenions.

*MOVEMENT*
Reconizing movement is one of the most important traits in the survival of an animal. There are four typs of movement: real, appernt, graphic, and imlied.
1.)Real Movement:is it actual movement by some other person or object.
2.0Apperent Movement:Appernt, or illusionary, movement is a type of motion in which stationary objects appear to move. The most common example of this type of moevment is a flip book.
3.)Graphic Movement:can be the motion of the eyes as they scan an aera or the way a graphic desinger positions elements so that the eyes move throughout the layout.
4.)Implied Movement:is a motion that a veiwer perceives in a still, singel image w/o any movement of the object, image or eye. The most commen example of this type of movement is called OPTICAL ART or OPT ART.
