Chanel-Week 4-Texture



This morning, I was at Woodbridge Village Center and the beautiful scenery of the lake caught my attention as I sat and enjoyed my morning coffee after hot yoga. The lake and gazebo set up a tranquil ambiance but the trees are what give this picture texture. The appearance of the light green, medium and dark green colors of the tree and bushes provide substance and light to this picture.

    Nice post and talk of texture in a non-literal way. Texture is not just patterning being projected but objects and how they affect our eye as we roll over them. Nice post!

Week 8-Chanel Kostich-Janet Jackson Concert

Image
This weekend, I went to Hawaii to see Janet Jackson perform live in concert! She was phenomenal! The lighting, the dancing, and the performance was exquisite. Being in Lighting this quarter has made me more aware of lighting and projection that is around me. In this picture, there are multiple lighting cues and specials that are coming from the stage and the balcony. It is amazing to see what they can do in concerts to light up the audience, the stage and the surroundings. As you can see, Janet Jackson has a special on her and the rest of the stage is in a Sangria color which adds warmth to her performance. The audience is also lit up in Sangria, purple and Midnight blue. The specials are in a pale blue color. These three vibrant colors really make Janet Jackson pop on stage and they add color to the front audience. This was a spectacular show and I am so glad I got to see it in Hawaii!

Week 1 - Things Are Looking Up

Chris Burden's " Urban Light " installation at LACMA Ah, the infamous and Instagram-famous "Urban Lights" installation at Los Angeles County Museum of Art...  I found myself hesitant to appreciate these lights; I had seen them plastered all over Instagram too much for my liking. However, as I stood underneath the mass of tall lights, I saw the beauty in them. The striking contrast between black sky and the bright, yet soft, glow of cool light was soothing yet engaging. The way the light bounced and reflected off the posts seemed both unpredictably and strategically designed. There seemed to be one hundred people at the "Urban Lights" installation that night. But as I peered up into the black night sky, the people also faded to dark, and the 202 lights cut the dark with the most ultimate luminosity.  -Brittany

Week #10 - Passion and Possibilities- Brandye Lee

Image
This post is about how grateful I am for Professor Alcaraz sharing his passion for Lighting with our class. As fall quarter draws to a close, I am struck by how quickly one's mind can be influenced and made to grow for the better.  Through our professor's thoughtful instruction about light, my world has opened to seeing and creating new possibilities.  Take the first image below...at first glance, the bright orange and yellow light could possibly be a fire and the thick smoke it produces.  But if we widen the lens, we see the warm light of the sun, beaming through clouds in the sky above.  I love how my perception of light has been piqued through this experience.  Although I know the class is over, I know for sure that I will always now appreciate lighting design, whether divinely created by Mother Nature, or by a talented TA.  So yeah, as I watch this gorgeous Sunday Sunset, the feelings I have are appreciation and excitement for my personal en"light"enment!
