Lightworks

Lightworks is an Interdisciplinary Arts class taught by Peter Kallok.

This course satisfies Division I requirements.

Course Description
How can one shape light? Can one touch light? How does light form its surroundings, and how can the surroundings give a 'physical' form to light? Within a studio format the class will experiment with the manipulation of light while exploring light as sculpture and light as environment. We will create installations and study the different properties and possibilities of light. Using a vast array of light emitting sources students will have the opportunity to create individual light works culminating in a gallery exhibit open to the public. We will study color, color mixing, reflection, and refraction. Through studying how light defines and reinforces line, movement, texture, and scale, we will develop skills and techniques that will inform students' personal use of light as a sculptural medium.
