Week 2 - Going Back Through Time - Charlie



The Above picture is my high school. Recently, I was luck to go back to my home country and visited my high school while it celebrated its 60-year anniversary. Upon my entry to the school, I found this red, vivid gate stood up on me, and the tree shadowed on the gate to form bubble-like light traces. I personally was fascinated by the beautiful view, for me it was really cute and comforting (somehow) to see the shadow of trees. In my native languages, these are called "光斑" meaning "light speckles". It especially expressed a feeling of staining from the phrase. Sometimes I can also see the rainbow edge around the spot, and the shape of the branches of the trees. When the wind comes, the spots also moved, and echo with the wind.

    Truly beautiful post! Your connection to light will serve you well in this class. That "texture" you refer to in the image can be attained in theatre through the use of a Gobo or Pattern, as discussed in the Lighting Instruments/Brushstrokes lecture. Nice post!

Week 2- La Jolla Cove-Sophia Perez

Image
  I took this picture about 4 years ago during spring break of my senior year in high school. This is the beach in La Jolla. I'm from San Diego so I love going to the beach and have so many fond memories of La Jolla. This picture was taken about mid afternoon and it wasn't as bright and sunny as when I had first got there hours prior and thought it looked beautiful. Since the pandemic has started, I haven't visited the beach at all due to the crowds. As much as I love this picture, I can't help but feel sad to think about the fact that I took simple outings with friends for granted. During this time in quarantine, I've realized that I can't take moments with my loved ones for granted and cannot wait to be able to spend time with them in person.

Week 4 - L'arc en ciel - Grace McCarney

Image
  While I'm visiting California for these few months I'm staying at my partner's parents' house. They have a chandelier in the front of the house that is next to a window. The window is facing west so during late afternoon/early evening everyday the light comes through and creates a stunning array of rainbows all throughout the second floor. This week they were especially bright and distinct. I also just learned how to say rainbow in french so that's what my title is. Whenever I see a rainbow like this, that appears somewhere I didn't expect it, it always brings a huge smile to my face. I know there's a science to it but it really feels magical. I think that is something that lighting does in theatre that not many other design forms can do. Depending on how it's lit and what is lit, it can truly make the stage feel magical. I remember seeing Finding Neverland and there's a sad but beautiful moment at the end. If the lighting wasn't so soft and sp...

Week 10 - Plant Mom - Erica Batres

Image
  This is a picture of my plants at around 4:30pm in the afternoon. The sun was not yet set, but it was definitely "golden hour" peaking through my bedroom window. I love the way the warm yellows from the sun brings out the warm earthy tones of the greens in the potted plants. Looking at all these colors together puts me in such a relaxing mood, and makes me so thankful that I have brought plants into my bedroom. There is a soft cascading yellow that makes this photo feel so warm and fresh to me. When I look at this picture I can feel the temperature of the room, slightly warm, but not stuffy.
