Welcome to the Dance 287 Journal for Fall 2022

As artists, we all see the world in different ways, but we all incorporate our surroundings into our art.

To help understand lighting in a new way, these blog posts aim to increase your appreciation for light, in your daily life, and expand your vision as an artist.  They will also help develop your eye for light, not just in the theatre, but in your daily life.

To more effectively understand how light can alter the perception of the audience; we need to first understand how it alters our perception daily.

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 you will find ways to articulate how light makes you feel.

To assist with this process, I've created this blog so that all of you may contribute a short piece every other week on an aspect of light that you have noticed throughout your journeys.

This can include a beautiful sunset, a great rock concert, 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 listed in the blog assignments for specific weeks.

Title each post with the Week # of the quarter, Your Name, Prompt (if assigned) and a Subject.

Postings count towards your final grade.

Include photos or videos 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.

Thank you and Happy Blogging!!

Lonnie
