Abstract
The fast-paced life of contemporary society increases people's psychological stress, and a piece of creative digital art may help relieve the stress. Color has a certain contribution to adjusting a person’s emotion. The interactivity and dynamics of digital art bring different experiences to our vision. This article was to present our work on the topic of whether different tones of still and dynamic digital art could make an impact on the emotion arousal. Over two experiments, 106 participants were invited to transfer the styles of 8 abstract images by adding blue and red tones. The dynamic creation processes were recorded to be used as stimuli, and three-dimensional valence-arousal-enjoyment model was used to measure emotions. The result of the experiment showed that adding different tones to digital art had no significant impact on the emotion arousal, however some participants expressed certain interests in the dynamic presentation of the creation process. The insights from this work could provide input to the design of digital art in emotion intervention and stress management.
