Bridge #1: Inquiry: Domain Map Response
For those three different domains, I would like to investigate with food, color and emotion for this semester. First, “food is edible or potable substance, consisting of nourishing and nutritive components which can sustains life, generates energy, and provides growth, maintenance, and health of the body” (What is Food) I choice food as one of my domain is because of I think food is an art, I love food, love to eat and want to eat something not just the food itself but more. Such as aesthetics of food. I believe the reason why we need to live and work every day is because of we need to eat, for example I do workout is because of I want to eat with no qualms of conscience, food is an important factor of good quality life. The difference between the quality life and non-quality life is depend on what is your food and what do you eat. For most people who pursuit for quality life such as me, would like to eat foods with feast for the eyes. This food domain will be performing on my final project as an experience form. Since my childhood dream is to have one of my own restaurant in the future so why not I choose food as one of my domain? I want to learn about historical context on sense perception, judgment, aesthetics and exploring representations of food, also experiencing food as an art in America’s top restaurants. Food has indivisible connection with two other domains, first, everything that on earth has their own color and it is no doubt that they affect to people’s life everyday especially for the choose of foods. Food color influences our behavior on the identification of the type of drink and food.
My second domain is color. “Color is the characteristic of human visual perception described through color categories, with names such as red, yellow, purple, or blue, caused by differing qualities of light being reflected or emitted” (color). I start having interest on color is because as an interior design major student, I need and must have sense of color theory knowledge, Colors are, however, not universal symbols. They vary according to the cultures. Color is an inseparable part of our daily activities, and its manifestation is apparent in everything that we partake. colors can change consumer behavior and perception regarding a given type of food. An old saying states that we taste first with our eyes before we eat something. At times, even the color of a cup or plate can change our sense of taste. This color domain will be
used by playing visual cheating on the container and the color of juices of my final project. My interest on color developed since my childhood, when I first time saw a rainbow, I was fascinated with it, so I told myself that I need to find out how do colors work and be expert with this color domain. I would like to know how does color affects people’s choices and have a better understanding of color and it’s emotional affect. I will be exploring this domain in the future by doing some research of color theory and find some books about color psychology and color therapy. Colors have indivisible connection with two other domains, first, colors have very strong influence in the foods we close to eat because it is first feats in the eyes, second colors have widely been known for their strong influence on our feelings and emotions.
My third domain is emotion. “Emotion, a complex experience of consciousness, bodily sensation, and behavior that reflects the personal significance of a thing, an event, or a state of affairs ( Solomon)”. People have emotional responses that lead to different choices of food. I started having interest on emotion domain is because of I think emotion is something that only human being can make varied and it can make much easier to social and make friend if you know about people’s emotion and know how to respond it, therefore, I think it is very important for us to get to know our emotions. For my final project, I will use different colors and different foods to achieve and construct different emotions for my audience. I am a very sensitive person since my childhood, I have very delicate emotion all the time, therefore I think emotion is something that I should know how to control it. I like to continue to exploring about emotions by do more researches on emotions and psychology in the future so I can have better understanding of it. I like to know how does emotions affect our preference for the different kinds of food and the relationship between emotions and foods. The relationship between emotion, food and color are first, we eat for a variety of different emotions, and we eat in a variety of different circumstances which are in turn connected with emotions, people prefer healthy foods when in good moods. Also color and emotions affect the type of food we choose.
