Welcome to 50c Blogging for Winter 2016

The intention of these blogs are to help you develop your eye for light, not just in the theatre, but in your life.

In order to more effectively understand how light can alter the perception of the audience; we need to first understand how it alters our perception, on a daily basis.

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

Perhaps you'll see colors you've never noticed before, you may recognize the angle of a certain light, and maybe you will find ways to articulate how a light makes you feel.

In order to assist with this process, I've created this blog so that all of you may contribute a short piece every other week on an aspect of light that you have noticed in your journeys.

This can include a beautiful sunset, a great rock concert, a well-lit store, or just what happens to your emotions when the sun moves behind a cloud. Anything and everything can be included.

Your postings are 10% of your grade.

Include photos with your post to help 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 to discover inspiration for you art in daily life.

Start your title/subject for each posting with the Week of the quarter and a subject.

Thanks and Happy Blogging!!
