  3. INFLUENCE OF LIGHT IN SPATIAL PERCEPTION • Light is a natural or artificial physicalphenomenonthatallowsustosee and distinguishobjectsthatsurroundus. • When light shinesonanobject, itcreatesareas of light and shadow. • Ifthe light changes, theperception of theobjectchanges as well.

  13. DIFFERENT POSITIONS OF THE LIGHT SOURCE • Front lighting • Light fromabove • Sidelighting • Backlighting

  14. FRONT LIGHTING • Thereissensation of volume and depthisminimal.

  15. LIGHT FROM ABOVE • Givesus a sensation of tranquility. • Givesus a sensation of realitybecauseitisthetype of lightingwe are usedto.

  16. SIDE LIGHTING • Creates a sensation of mysteryor drama • Produces a highcontrastbetweentheilluminatedarea and mystery in theshadedarea • Johannes Vermeer

  17. BACKLIGHTING • We can onlyseethebackground and thesilouettes of the figures

  18. Chiaroscuro • Value describes volume and depth of space In Europe artists of the Renaissance were concerned with showing depth and volume in opposition to the artists of the Middle or “Dark Ages.” • Men of the Renaissance considered their time period to be the Age of Reason and rebirth of artistic and mathematical achievements. • Renaissance artists manufactured the term “Chiaroscuro” to describe how light and dark can imply depth and volume.

  19. The word Chiaroscuro is a combination of two Italian words that mean light and dark. (chiaro (clear, light) + oscuro (obscure, dark) • Atmospheric or Ariel perspective was one of the artistic strategies used in the study of Chiaroscuro during the Renaissance.

  20. Light Sources and Shadows • A light projected onrcan object or figure creates lights, darks, and cast shadows. Your source of light may be the sun, the moon, a light through a window or an artificial light. When several light sources are present the light and dark tones vary and are less predictable.

  21. Two Kinds of Shadows • Cast Shadow: when an object blocks a light source it casts a shadow. A cast shadow is not a solid shape but varies in tone and value. • Form Shadow: A form shadow is the less defined dark side on an object not facing the light source. This shadow has softer less defined edges than a cast shadow.

  22. THE LIGHT SIDE IN TWO PARTS • Highlight: The lightest spot is where the light hitsthe subject in exactly the middle of the light side between the shadow edge and the edge of the object. A highlight can be shiny and definedon a glass or metallic surface, orfuzzy on a dull or textured surface. • Light middle tones: To avoid confusion, “always”keep the values on the light side lighterthan the values on the dark side.

  23. Reflected light • If the object being painted is sitting on a white table, the light from the table reflects back onto the object and makes the shadow side lighter.

  24. Manet’s Painting, “The Railway” shows value contrast in composition, but the sensation of space is diminished when there are many light sources.

  25. Whatkind of lighting do thesetwoimageshave?

  26. Notan • Notan is a Japanese word meaning dark-light. The principle of Notan is the interaction between positive (light) and negative (dark) space. This interaction is confirmed by the ancient Chinese symbol of Yin and Yang.
