Making the LIGHT





The Models.



The colors of nebulas is what really caught my attention. The are so many colors within them its beautiful. By creating the purple and blue on with the black it mimicked the color of nebulas.
Starting out was craziness! I couldn't even find anything that was on my desk. However I wanted to make my lumina-ire reflect some how what a nebula looks like. Therefore I made it out of black paper with white pieces in some of the goals. The black light bulb that I used help to get the effect of purple and blue color.

Luminescence Inspirations




All these outer space images are a really breath taking. Its so beautiful to see that light is formed from all these stars and spacial gases. I can't believe that there is so much variety in colors. It is truly amazing.

The lights in this ceiling are very creative in their design and how they are placed.
paces in between are lit.
Moon
The most eye catching thing here is not the the reflection in the water but the moon itself.
Although the moon isnt a star it still gives off an immense amount of light. It looks as if though
someone poked a whole in the sky and stuck a bulb in it. Its very amazing and beautiful.

The Pulitzer Building New York 1909
What caught my attention when I saw this building was the shadow that is created on the other building. The way the building leans and how the light was hitting it at the moment creates an amazing shadow.
Sunset
The most breath taking light and colors are seen during this event. A perfect sunset like this looks to me as if someone with a huge flashlight made a spotlight in the sky with multiple colors. Another amazing effect is the colors it creates in the water, for instance in this picture creating a purple outlining in the water.
New York City Buildings
I love the power that so many small lights have. They can give the impression of the sky being lit. It creates a glowing environment.

DiAlOg




Dialog isn't as easy as it seems! This project was really the first that taught us to look at spaces and how they are connected or not. It made us think if they had some kind of comparison or relationship, how well they worked and most importantly how well we could make JUST two spaces. In my dialog project I wanted to show reflection and therefore I thought of one space doing the same thing in the other but just in sort of different way. I thought of a solid and a skeleton. The solid is reflected in the bristol board while the skeleton is made up of the skewers. They are the same shape and they relate. They are mostly made up of negative space. The base reflects this as well. This project really got me thinking more in terms of space and how well I could make it relate with another space.

The Vanishing Point


I've noticed that vanishing points are appealing to the eye. I feel that they are interesting because its like a black hole that that is sucking all the objects into it. I like the way it creates different views depending on where you position the object.

Junk Drawer



So while I was drawing my Junk Drawer I noticed that it isn't very different from many real drawers in my past! But what I really enjoyed about this activity was looking at all these different objects and drawing them just as they are. I felt it was very relaxing and a relieving from other loads of heavier school work. I did notice however that after i completed this assignment I hadn't thought of adding shadow to the exterior. But overall this project was pleasant.

Unity On Board






Out of all my drawings I would have to say that my favorite is the perspective view. This picture stands out the most because it has the most information about my model.

Unity





Unity is all around us. However when we think of unity we think of things just being unified because they are tied or somehow connected. Well in my case unity is shown because of two objects being placed parallel to each other. The overall project shows parallelism therefore there is unity all around the project. Before fully developing my project to its final presentation I knew i wanted to make it into layers. Therefore I came up with my "first model." That one then evolved into the layers or flaps going out to the sides.
