PAID 1200 Lighting - Spring 2011 Assignment One IESNYC Student Lighting Competition: Revealing Shadows For the past 10 years, the New York City Section of the IES has invited students from New York City Art and Design schools to participate in a city wide design competition. The competition empowers students to explore light as an art form, demonstrate light as a stimulus, and prove light as a valuable medium. Every year, students in lighting, architecture, interior design, art, product design, photography and electrical engineering programs have submitted projects, resulting in a diverse showcase of ideas and interpretations on a single theme. Description: The challenge is to interpret and express the theme in the form of an abstract 3-dimensional lighting composition constructed of your choice of materials. Your exploration should show how the interaction of light, shadows, and surfaces can distort or enhance your perception. All projects must have a title, incorporate at least one electric light source, and be easily transportable in a NYC cab. Projects will be evaluated based upon the student’s ability to expand the viewer's understanding of the explored condition(s), as well as the following criteria: a. Originality, thought process, and translation of concept/idea b. The selection, placement, and manipulation of the light source to achieve a desired effect Class Schedule: Step One / Lecture: What is Perception? – What is a Shadow? Today This initial part is to spring board you to research of possible themes, brainstorm ideas, and gather concepts. Each student should develop and explore there own concept. Step Two / Design Development: Desk Reviews Feb 9 A review of your in-progress, development, and lighting study. On operable study is required. Step Three / Advanced Development: Desk Reviews Feb 16 A review of your in-progress, development, and lighting study. On operable study is required.
