For our final exam, IARC-101 had to construct an luminare out of previous materials used in former projects. For my luminare I used paper, and foam core board that were used in previous projects. This project was challenging, our instructor told us it would be. At first I didn't understand why it would be so complicated. When I began working on the project I realized why he said it would be complicated. For me the project was complicated because I had so many ideas, and couldn't narrow them down at first. Then I gave up and let go and then got an idea. I was inspired by the way light travels around things, and creates shadows or silhouette.

In our IARC-101, our final project for this semester included natural and artificial light. We had to explore the different things light did, and the way light looked, or the properties of light. We had to research :

Sunrise, midday, sunset, moonlight, starlight, lamplight , spotlight. lowlight, up/downlight, intensity, contrast, direction, shade, shadow, color.

Dialogue Project:

In this project we had to use Bristol Board and Skewers. We had to create a dialogue between two spaces. This project was a success and challenging to figure out what a space was and what was considered a space.

3RD TIME AROUND

Unifying Opposites:

2nd try with unifying opposite objects such as skewers and Bristol Board.

This is the process I took to get to my final project. In this project, we had to take the materials listed and some how unify them in an articulate way. We had a little boundery, when normally we have no restrictions, to what our final project can have. We are learning a little bit of creativity is designl. Design dosn't just have a lot of ideas put into one. It has a lot of ideas simplified, meaning you start with a lot of ideas, but you have to decide which ideas will create a uniquely designed peice.
