This week we went through the history of light and how light has come a long way to illuminate the world of art. What fascinated me, was how illumination in past history was given by such simple and obvious means. For example, lighting a candle and angling it in a different way, gave people a new perspective on an object. The picture I chose represents the simplicity of light back in history. It also represents how innovative and creative people were to light up their world. The picture is that of a mason jar, with a design engraved in the jar, and a candle in the jar, hung by a rustic rope. The image is so simple, yet creative and pleasant to look at. You can see the warm rustic light peeping through the dark design, to create a rustic, warm ambiance. Learning how light came to be and where light is heading seems very interesting. Today, on our modern world light seems to be taken on a whole new image. Such as, the introduction to the LED lights and how flexible they are for the creative minds. Light has come a long way in general and in the world of art, but the purpose remains the same. The purpose of light is to illuminate our world no matter what that is, whether it be the complicated world of Hedda Gabler or the whole new world of Aladdin. Light will always guide our way.
