Now that you have decided to enhance your appreciation for
light, I want to help you develop your eye for light not just in the theatre
but in your life.
In order to more effectively understand how light can alter
the perception of your audience; we need to first understand how it alters our
perception on a daily basis.
As we move through the quarter, I hope that this blog will
help you to discover light in ways that you have not seen before.
Perhaps you'll see colors you've never noticed before, you
may recognize the angle of a certain light, and maybe you will find ways to
articulate how a light makes you feel.
In order to assist with this process, I've created this blog
so that all of you may contribute a short piece each week on an aspect of light
that you have noticed throughout your journeys.
This can include a particular moment in a play, a beautiful
sunset, a great rock concert or a well lit store, or just what happens to your
emotions when the sun moves behind a cloud. Anything and everything can be
included.
Pay special attention to Blog Topics for even numbered weeks:
- Week
2: Inspiration
- Week
4: Texture
- Week
6: Obsession
- Week
8: Depth
- Week
10: Site Specific Blog
Title each post with the Week of
the quarter and then a subject.
Your postings count towards your final grade.
Please include photos with your post to help us see what you
are describing!
Whether or not you continue in lighting design after this
class, I hope that this online journal will help you to discover inspiration
for your art in daily life.
Thanks and Happy Blogging!!
Lonnie Alcaraz
