Process of creating a Luminair

I was experimenting with how light shined through paper. I really liked the texture of the construction paper that you can see when the light shines through it. I was also experimenting with projecting a pattern on a surface. Which in shown in the image bellow.

When I added another start peice the patter on the ceiling became more interesting.

I wanted to make my luminair larger in order for it to show gradation in the light. I discovered that bond paper had a very similar textur to the construction paper but it allowed me to make the scale of my lunimair larger because on the size on the bond paper.

As i was working with my base I decided to make it a cube. I left the back open so that you can switch the light on and off but the light was leaking out way too much so i eventually but a flap door on in.

Inspiration

This is a picture of the light on my bedroom ceiling. I really like the light field it produces. This makes me want to try and project something that will make a pattern on a surface.

These pictures are all of sunsets but for my inspiration I did not so much focus on the colors of the sky but rather of how the light faded from light to dark. With this I want to try and capture the gradual change in the brightness of light.

perspective drawing

This was my first attempt at drawing in one point perspective. I was having difficulties with how things turned out looking and how I perceive them in real life. It made me think that what I was doing was wrong. Other than that I did not struggle. for this perspective I drew the contour in pen then shaded with pencil. I am pleased with how it turned out, but I know i can improve on my shading.

Junk Drawer

The junk drawer was a poject to help with cross hatching and shading. I had never done crooshatcihng before this so i learned a lot. The most difficult part was keeping the lines consistent with how spaced out they were and keeping then straight. With this project I came to realise that the more contrast the better.

Floating cubes

The floating cube project was to practice working in one point perspective. this really helped because it was simple but it was a lot of practice. The most difficult part of this assignment was making the objects in perspective but shading them really helped them stand out and look three dimensional.
