Unit Summary 4 (light and color)

I have learned that the use of color can decide the theme and idea of an object, space, building, or place. The use of different colors and color schemes will change the room completely. As I was picking which felt to lay my building model on (in class light and color exercise) it took a minute or so to find the right color because each one gave my building different vibes. Light can set the mood of these four focuses in our interiors class. What light can also do is play a role in representing something greater than expected; adding meaning and life to things. It can be used to bring emphasis to an object or area; it can brighten up a room and give it the feel that the designer wanted. I chose the picture of New Grange below because of the way the light tunnel depicts light itself. It treats the sun as a rare being because it only seen through this tunnel before, during, and after the winter solstice. The chair represents the scale of our brain to art. This artwork helps us to grasp and understand how the psychotic brain functions in a visual, tangible form because of the way the artist used color to depict thoughts. We see the use of color in materials in my case study building, the Lever House, through the green and blue hues of the glass. Light plays a role on the same building by casting a shadow in different directions as seen in my case study 4 assignment. I think that all designs can be described by light and colors. For example if you walked into and all white room you can say, "all white-neutral." A pitch black room can be describes as "no light" but that is still using light to describe the space.
