Two of nature’s most profound forms of expression came
together during the July 18th to July 20th Art in Bloom
show at The Spanish Village. The presentation matched floral arrangements with
paintings to create a masterful display of coordinated color. Each artist attempted
to make a connection between the two formats to brighten your home and better manage
open space. Prices were reasonable and focused on middle class buyers.
The color combinations chosen will naturally impact ascetic
appearance and mood. For example, a study by Yildirim, et. al. (2011) found
that changing colors to warm, cool, or achromatic colors also changed a person’s
mood. Warm colors bring higher states of arousal, cool colors bring restful
feelings and achromatic colors foster peaceful emotions. Art in Bloom offered colored combinations across
all three color schematics.
The same concepts that apply to one's home can also apply to a business lobby, conference room, meeting room, or any other place where people gather. Using proper art displays not only show the good taste of the company but also can enhance the experiences of customers and clients. If you are seeking to create excitement use bright colors while if you are seeking to calm your clients down use cool colors.
Perusing the paintings and flowers were not the only
activity on the menu. As patrons strolled the courtyard they were also able to
listen to music by Tin Man’s Heart and attend presentations through the Botanical
Foundation. Refreshments and coffee provided opportunities to sit and relax
while enjoying the bonanza of bountiful colors.
The event was hosted at The Spanish Village in
Balboa Park which is an artist’s heaven in opportunities to connect, learn, and
produce unique works of self-expression. Small guilds and shops are architecturally
designed to give the most ascetic appearance possible. If you are looking for
art classes or want to get involved in the art community you only need to start
walking around and visiting the shops.
