【題目】 Wassily Kandinsky was a Russian painter. He developed a way of painting called abstract art. This art uses colours, shapes and lines. He had many ideas about colour. He believed that colous communicated certain qualities and that the colours that surround us have a powerful influence on us. Most of us have a favourite colour and this favourite colour makes us feel good, too.

Kandinsky thought that yellow was a warm exciting colour that could make us feel happy. In comparison, blue was a peaceful color that could make a person feel more relaxed. The colour green brings peace and stillness and makes us feel close to nature. White he thought was a colour associated with harmony, silence and cleanliness while black was linked to grief darkness and the unknown, Red can boost our energy and is linked to improving confidence. Orange is a healthy colour with a fun side to it. Schools use bright colours to encourage children to take part in activity and learning.

Age influences our choice of favourite colours. Children like the colour yellow. As children become adults, yellow becomes less popular as a favourie colour. Older people seem to like blues and purples more than reds and oranges. This kind of knowledge about colours can be powerful in advertising and website design. It can have an effect on the success of these with their readers. If you are designing a website for children, the colour yellow would probably make it more successful. If you are designing a website for older people, the use of blues and purples would make it more successful than the use of yellow. It would seem that the power of colour is interesting as a subject.

Colours seem to influence more than we could imagine in our lives. It is interesting to note that different colours have different meanings in different cultures. Red is often thought of as the colour of danger, love and passion (激情) in the West. In China, red represents good luck, South Africa, it is the colour associated with death. In Western cultures, black is the colour associated with death, while in Japan, white is the colour of death. Purple is the colour of death in Thailand, but in the West, it is the colour of royalty, wealth and luxury.

【1】Who developed a way of painting call abstract art?

________________________________________________________

【2】Did Wassily Kandinsky believe the colours that surround us have a powerful influence on us?

【3】According to Kandinsky, if you want to be relaxed, what colour would you choose?
