Visual Arts Question:
Why is the color red important in artwork and photographs?
Answer:
Perhaps it is because in nature animals (and therefore humans) associate the color red with ripe fruit. Since humans were predominantly hunter gatherers throughout most of our history as a species, it is unsurprising that red has a special meaning. Perhaps that is why a red traffic light makes us stop and take notice.
