Hello again! Here's another post for today, except this one is about lighting in specific places. As you can see in the title of this posts, the spaces I'm talking about are the Newman Center, the Singletary Center, and the School of Art and Visual Studies. The main discussion is meant to include what I thought about the lighting and colors used within these spaces; so without further a-do, I'll go ahead and start.

To the upper left, there's the image I took at the Newman Center. Something I noticed when in this space was that there's a harmonious combination between natural and artificial light. The main colors within this room were found in the furniture with the dark wood colors. When both types of light are being exposed, the wood appears to be very rich in color.

To the right is an image of the theatre in the Singletary Center. Something I really enjoyed about this space was the amount of light exposure from the artificial lights. Since it's a theatre, there isn't any natural light, and the majority of light comes from the stage. However, the lighting for where the audience would be sitting is what really catches my attention. The reason behind this is that the dimness of the light and the red fabric applied to the seats throughout the room makes the whole space feel very regal in a way. Every time I sit in there, I feel like I'm in a very important place and that I'm experiencing something that requires every bit of my attention.

To the bottom, there's an image of a space by the classrooms in the School of Art & Visual Studies (SAVS). The main thing I noticed when walking around in this building, which was that it has a lot of different light fixtures throughout the spaces that apply a specific amount of light. Some of these areas included galleries, so the lights were dimmer in the middle of the room and smaller lights acted as spotlights for each piece of artwork. However, in the main areas throughout the building (as shown in my image) there's a combination of natural and artificial lights, and there are many different types of light fixtures for the artificial lighting. This creates a bright and open area for people to come into and instantly feel welcome. Out of all of the spaces, this one was by far my favorite.
