Here are 3 of my best pics from the “Bounced Color” exercise. My iPhone had difficulty picking up the color that bouncing onto the walls and floor. I used a sheet of frosted acrylic as a diffuser to help with … Continue reading → Continue reading →

This is a draft video for the project on changing light. Adria and I are working together for this video and are combining two of our projects together. My patterned openings from my last two projects are being overlaid with … Continue reading → Continue reading →

The light box from the last project was reused for this experiment. First, I laser cut patterns into both blue and red matteboard. Then, I used these screens along with color floor pieces to reflect color onto the back wall of … Continue reading → Continue reading →

This short video clip shows how light could change throughout the day using one of my panels I created in the first week of class.

When experimenting with color I wanted to use my initial interest in how color could bounce and wash a surface. As I felt my curvilinear panel was the most successful from last weeks experiment,  I glued sections of orange, blue, and green construction paper to the back of each strip.  Although it is hard to […] Continue reading →

The first two images are instances of bounced color I found out and about.  It is a glass vase with a light pointing down through it.  The colors from the vase are bounced off the ground plane to create interesting … Continue reading → Continue reading →

I wanted to investigate light and shadow in relation to translucent and transparent materials. The  first investigation was of vellum with slits cut into it to allow light through.  My hope was that the vellum would allow a little bit … Continue reading → Continue reading →

I set up a white room with light bouncing off a diagonal wall into the room and then changed the color of the diagonal wall with construction paper.  The first image is a white wall, then the color parade starts. … Continue reading → Continue reading →

I started with a laser cut panel and explored various lighting conditions, including backlighting through translucent paper, before moving onto a printed tree pattern, and finally layering the two. Here I played with motion of the light source.   Continue reading →

light and shadow assignment 1 My experiments from the first day of class inspired me to continue experimentation with patterned light and shadows.  I decided to use circles, squares, triangles, and an arabesque pattern. The movement of the sun during … Continue reading → Continue reading →
