Colour Psychology

Well done on everyone getting their essay drafts done! What a relief! I am looking forward to getting my feedback so I can get stuck in and amend what needs to be changed and get this module ticked off!

Colour evokes feeling. 

Colour incites emotion.


Colour psychology is the study of colours in relation to human behaviour.

When creating my artefact I came across the theory of Colour Psychology


What's your favourite colour?

    What an interesting theory, thank you for sharing, I will keep this in mine whilst working on my artefact! My favourite colour was always purple but recently have preferred yellow, maybe that's because I search for serenity during these uncertain times! What's your favourite colour? x

    Awww it's so interesting isn't it! I didn't know about how different brands choose their colours for reasons more than aesthetics so that was something new for me!! I am such a girly girl and pink has always been my favourite which means unconditional love and nurturing!! I hope your artefact is going well! :)

    It is very interesting! What I noticed mostly was how blue logos are mainly electronic brands (dependable), expect for Apple, which is confidently sitting in grey (balance). That is lovely, pink is a great colour :) My artefact is going well.. I think. I am really enjoying this opportunity to be creative but am trying to narrow down my ideas. I'm feeling unsure of how much to include and how in depth my explanations should be. How are you getting on?

    Yes that is so very true!!! Yes I'm getting stuck into mine too but I do keep questioning the same thing, if it's enough or in depth enough or how much information do I need to provide!! Maybe this is some thing we could ask at the end of the Skype next week!

Draft deadline approaching

This module have been overwhelming to say the least! I now realise how fortunate I was to start this course in the pandemic and have so much free time to focus on my work. This time round I am abroad in America, working a full time job, I have very limited wifi, I am also Injured and have had so many different distractions! I am proud that I have managed to find the time to do the work, I am just questioning if I've understood the task at hand and if it's to a good standard, but I guess that's what drafts are for! I have found analysing my data very hard! I understand what the data means to me, however getting it down on paper is much harder than I imagined! initially I was scared about interviewing people but that seems to have been the easy part!  I think at the end of the day we all need to remind ourselves that this Inquiry wasn't to solve anything or prove something right or wrong it is to develop our practice and have a greater understanding of our professional fi...

Data Collecting!

I have now conducted all 6 interviews and honestly it has left me with more questions than what I feel like have been answered... I guess it was never the aim to answer our inquiry and our supervisors have always emphasised this, but now I feel like I have so much more that I need to research or it has given me new questions that I could start completely separate research projects about.  I was shocked that everyones answers were so different and so different to my own perspective on ‘ how does social media effect a professional dancers body image’. Potential themes that have reoccured that now I am going to find new literature on are… Pressure    -Pressure with Dance specific body image   -Pressure to promote / market themselves online  The words  FIT a nd  ATHLETIC   came up multiple times Filter     -Filtering what you view online. All my participants said that they really carefully consider what types of accounts that...

Interviews! Interviews! Interviews!

Interviews? Yesterday module 2 had a really insightful discussion session with supervisor Sam Murray who specialises in ethnographic research. Below are some of the key points that Sam raised in the discussion for anyone that missed it! Also this will be helpful to revisit and reflect on when we are in module 3 and actually have to create our interview questions!!! (dun dun duuuuuunnnn!!!!!!!- This scares me haha) Sams Interview Hints and Tips -In an interview think of being a data collection computer, you want to take in lots of information and learn new things! -Don’t ask leading questions and don’t have a fixed idea. You want to be open and use broad questions to get as much out of the discussion. Don’t force your opinion. -Let the data speak for its self  -In an interview you will always be surprised by peoples answers, so don’t presume what they are going to say. -You are collecting peoples stories -Create a set of questions that are open and that you feel confident asking! -W...
