Light Model -- Johanna, Jessica, Janel, Emily






In our light model we wanted to work with the idea of additive color mixing and spacial hierarchy. To achieve this we fastened colored plastic rectangles to string and meticulously placed them in specific areas of our light model. We tried to angle them so that perhaps a blue and a red would mix and you would see the different colors throughout the white inside. We also found that there were some areas that all three colors (red, blue and green) mixed and were able to create "white light." Creating hieirarchy was in the presice placement of these colored rectangles. The more condensed area seemed more important because the light source was placed there. The less condensed area wasn't as emphasized however we were still about to see the colored shadows and created an interesting backlighted affect. My favorite part of the light model was the movement and rhythm that was achieved by slightly touching the box and you could see (especially the green rectangles) all the colors move around and sway into different places of light.
