Beja Light Observation:

Posted on March 25, 2011 by previousstudent

Date, Time, Location: Tuesday March 22nd, 2011; 6:10 PMish, driving home from work

Objective Description: driving away from sunset, with raindrops drying on my side view mirror.

Subjective Description: on my journey home from a splendid day of work, I noticed the sunset. It was any usual sunset fading from blue to orange to pink, but it had an extra tint of orange through the mirror. Also the drying raindrops accentuated some spots in the colors, bringing out those colors in the sky. This gave a peaceful effect with an added joyfully spontaneous feeling

Lighting Observation

Posted on March 25, 2011 by previousstudent

1) March 23nd, 4:00 AM, my room

2) OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: The light is an orangish red that is being shown against me wall. It is very dim, and the only light source in my room. In front of the light is a stencil of Tiny Tim, and the light is projecting the shadow of his form on my wall.

3) SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: I was in my room, late, at night, cutting a stencil. Unfortunately, it was far to cold outside to go spray paint, but I wanted to know how the stencil would look once painted. While looking through the other stencils I have made I came across a simple silhouette I had made a while ago and had an idea. I held the stencil up to the lamp, and lo and behold, the figure of Tiny Tim appeared on my wall; created by the areas of paper that were cut out and allowed to shine through.

Light Observation 8B

Posted on March 25, 2011 by previousstudent

DATE-TIME-LOCATION: 3/22/11; 6:00PM; West side of Hofstra Hall

OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: Shadows from trees next to Davison broken up on Hofstra Hall siding.

SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: The bright sun shone through the tall trees.  The light went beyond the leaves of the trees and onto Hofstra Hall.  The leafy breakup on the building felt very airy and very natural.  It is very interesting because there are gobos very similar to this look that are often used throughout many designs.

Light Observation 8A

Posted on March 25, 2011 by previousstudent

DATE-TIME-LOCATION: 3/23/11; 8:45AM; Outside Student Center

OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: Dark shadows reflected in puddles in the rain.

SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: The dark and rainy day continued to bring puddles to campus.  Every puddle had dark shadows from the trees and buildings around.  The dark shadows reflected in the water felt very depressing because the shadows added to the “black hole” of the puddle.

Photo Observation 8

ATTRIBUTION: http://politicsandarchitectureb3.blogspot.com/2009/03/concept-of-powerful-architecture.html

THEME: Power

DESCRIPTION: This hotel, Burj Al Arab, is one the main features on the Dubai skyline.  Its shape references the shape of a billowing sail, which in itself lends to the “power” connotation.  The uplighting in this picture shows the sheer mass of the building.  Although it is not the tallest building in Dubai, it most definitely feels powerful because of the reflections of the light off the giant sail and the reflection of the glass.

Photo Observation-Week 8

2) www.serialconsign.com

3) Power

4) When I think power and light , I always think of lightning. To me power is something that is intense, and catches your attention, raw and transforming. To me that is what lightning is as well. Especially in this photo, the lighting is intense, bright, eye catching, raw and transforming. It’s not something you would want to be caught in. Also, with the vibrant purple shooting out of the lightning you can feel the power it had over the area.

2nd Light Observation Week 8

Posted on March 25, 2011 by previousstudent

1) DATE-TIME-LOCATION: 03/23/11 Walk way near Lowe

2) OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION:  Sun reflecting in a puddle

3) SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: As I walked around the usually disgusting puddle that is in the middle of the walk way near bits and bytes I noticed the suns beams reflecting of the surface water.
