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 the 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.
Please start your title for each posting with the Week of the quarter and a sybject.
Your postings do 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 you art in daily life.
Thanks and Happy Blogging!!
Lonnie Alcaraz
