The relationship between visual language and cultural context is closely intertwined. Visual language refers to the way ideas and emotions are conveyed through elements such as shape, color, line, and texture, while cultural context significantly influences the use and interpretation of these elements.
Symbolism of Color: Different cultures have varying interpretations of colors. For example, in Western cultures, white often symbolizes purity and weddings, while in some Eastern cultures, it may be associated with mourning and funerals. In many traditional Chinese weddings, red is prominently used, symbolizing good luck and happiness.
For example, in the past, Chinese people would dress their children in red embroidered shoes, while the British preferred to dress their children in white shoes. This is a picture I took at the museum.
