Welcome to the Drama 157 Fall 2023 Lighting Journal

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.

 

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

 

As we move through the quarter, I hope this blog will help you discover light in ways you have not seen before.

 

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, starting week 2, 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, a well-lit store, or 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 on the Project assignment on Canvas.

 

Title each post with Week #, Your Name, Prompt (if assigned), and a subject.

 

Your postings count towards your final grade.

 

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 discover inspiration for your art in daily life.

 

Thank you and Happy Blogging!!
