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!

Transferable Skills

Transferable skills As I have been delving into the world of ‘what is my practise’ I thought I would dedicate a blog to ‘Transferable skills’…to what I am doing during the year of 2020… the Covid- 19 pandemic… I should have spent this year cruising around the Caribbean, being a beach bum and performing some dreamy shows! However my world came crashing down on March 23rd, when I had to debark the beautiful Freedom of the seas, fly home from Barbados and wave goodbye to my wonderful cast! With no clue that 6 months later I would still be home… After I’d say, about 2 and a half months of grieving, netflix, home workouts and many wine bottles later, I thought it was time that I came back to reality and got a job… a normal job… This has fortunately been the first normal job I’ve had to get in about 5 years and the thought of it filled me with anxiety and dread. Anyway, cut to point, I am now working in a pub / waitressing / bar work / cleaning / making deserts, you name it! But ‘hey ho’ I d...

Welcome back! Welcome to Module 2!

I am excited to get my head stuck into some books again and continue this journey! A lot has happened in my life recently and I am now living in Brasil until May, so I will be doing this whole module here! I need to be extra organised and get my head around the time zones for all our BAPP skypes. So far from talking to peers on the course and looking over the handbook I feel like I am back at the beginning and it all feels so daunting again! I felt like this at the start of module 1 and we all managed to get through that… so I am sure we will conquer this too! Tonights welcome back Skype I felt was a great way to get my head back into ‘uni-mode’ and it was lovely to see everyone again and of course welcome the module 1s onto the course.  Helen made some great points about just delving into the course and yourself as an artist. She spoke about how some of us may feel distant because of the current pandemic, which is something I really resonate with. It’s coming up to a year since I ...

Down the rabbit hole...

Today I fell down the rabbit hole of the internet…. After my 1-2-1 with my supervisor, I have decided that my inquiry will somewhat be about ‘Dancers body image’, something I am sure many of us have questioned or experienced in our dancing life. I am still unsure about what my specific focus or ‘question’, ‘title’ will be yet, as it’s such a broad subject, but after reading article after article, ‘social media’ particularly ‘instagram’ kept creeping into the more up to date information out there… We all do it, (or I applaud you if you don’t), scroll through instagram daily and sometimes forget about the fact that people use photoshop and other editing apps, the “influencers” hire professional photographers for their staged photoshoots and the majority of the time people only post the ‘good stuff’. However, on the other hand throughout my reading session It was refreshing to see some of those blue ticked Insta pages and renown professional dancers, were calling out the crap and bein...
