This intermediate weekend course presents a systematic approach to understanding, managing and creatively working with light, both natural and artificial, as elements and principles of pictorial design. Light is measured, interpreted, mixed, shaped and composed. The aim is to establish the essential skills and critical distinctions needed to effectively and creatively light, compose and represent different content and contexts. Topics covered include:
Modes of Representation
- Notan, Chiaroscuro and lines of separation
- High Key and Low Key lighting
- Broad lights, spot lights and focused lights
- Soft lights and hard lights, warm lights and cool lights
- Aerial perspective versus linear perspective
Lighting Composition
- Basic Light and Contour Light
- Semi-Silhouette Light
- Dynamic Light and Plastic Light
- Key lights, fill lights, shaping light, and lighting ratios
- Breaking rules and redefining expectations
The Elements and Principles of Pictorial Design
- Line, direction, size, shape, texture, tone and colour
- The nature of light, shade, and shadow
- Proportion, opposition, dominance and contrast
- Unity, repetition, variety and selection
- Rhythm, harmony and balance
The Structure of Images
- Decisive moments and effective compositions
- Drawing Composition - The relationships within the image
- Tonal Composition - The drama of the image
- Colour Composition - The mood of the image
- Spatial Composition - Our relationship to the image
The course is based around a series of practical demonstrations, historical investigations, critical analysis and real world solutions. Lighting technologies and lighting equipment, lighting styles, and cinematic, theatrical and photographic lighting examples are replicated and integrated with elements and principles of pictorial design to produce a robust, innovative and responsive compositional and lighting practice. Detailed course notes are provided.
