Designing with Light
TDM 154
Subject & Catalog Number
Course Information
Description
This hands-on course serves as a foundation in the art and craft of creative lighting design. Students will explore the medium of light itself and its possibilities in storytelling and world-creation. Introductory exercises in perception and psychology will lead to intensive experimentation with various sources of light to create 2D images or 3D environments. Composition, form, color, time and movement will be explored, as well as the basics of lighting technology.
Lighting Design has numerous applications and dimensions, and developing a degree of mastery with light as a medium is useful across many fields. While theatrical lighting equipment will be used in the course, and there will be some discussion of lighting design for performance, our focus will not be exclusively centered around design for the stage.
