Lighting Observation 11
Calkins Hall, one of the art rooms, at 11:11am on April 25th
I had walked into the room for my class; the blinds were down, the lights were on overheard, and the spotlights on either side of the room, the lights that we use to better illuminate the models, were turned off.
As soon as I walked into the room, I felt like something was off. It took me a few minutes, but I realized that whenever I have had class in this room throughout the semester, the spotlights would be on. These spotlights were used so that we could more easily see the model(s) that we were using on any day. However, for this class, my professor had decided that we were going to work outside, and thus had not turned on the lights. It felt odd to me, because it seemed as though the classroom was missing some of the warmth that it had previously. I didn’t feel as though I should’ve been in the room, because I felt like it wasn’t my classroom anymore.
