Discussion Questions: The Interaction of Color, Josef Albers Think of the color BLUE. What comes to mind? What do you visualize? What do you hear? What do you smell? Be specific in your description. The following are the answers:What comes to mind: Sky on a bright sunny dayWhat is visualized: OceanWhat is heard: QuietnessWhat is smelt: Vibrant and calmNow ask someone else the same question. Be specific in documenting their description of BLUE.The following are the answers:What comes to mind: Sky on a bright sunny dayWhat is visualized: oceanWhat is heard: LoudWhat is smelt: AzureAre these two reactions different or similar? How so? Why?

All answers were not similar because each of us has his or her own perception, illusion and understanding of the blue color.2. Albers describes a scenario of dipping hands into warm, lukewarm, and cold water in varying orders. There is a differentiation between physical fact and psychic effect. How does this deceit of the haptic (touch) sense compare to the optical illusions that deceive us as we see color in the world?Whereas physical fact refers to a tangible, visible and audible thing that can be seen, touched or heard; psychic effect is a product of the imagination by the human mind.

Each of these has a direct influence on the perception and attitudes of human beings. They can be responsible for the optical illusions such as the moster illusion, endless staircase illusion, figure-ground illusion and ‘devil’s fork’ illusions. 3. For extra credit, find a real world example of an optical illusion due to color interactions in the world. Bring in the physical example or document (snap a photo) of the moment.
