  In class this week we talked about light, natural and man-made, quality and quantity, the different purposed for light, and its effects on color. In addition, we talked about texture, both visual and tactile, and finally ended the class with pattern.     In chapter 11 of our Color Study book, it starts out by continuing our last week’s topic, color works with the elements of design” space, line, form/shape, texture, and light.  When color is viewed in space, certain visual transformations take place. Value can help to show where an object is within a space. The element of space controls the distance, void, or interval between objects in our work and provides interaction between line, shape, color, and texture. The types of illusionary space created are shallow, medium, and far reaching.  Lines. They can invoke motion. They can outline things in order to create a division. Thin lines appear light, while thick lines look dark.  Shape refers to a flat area, ...

  Like what we discussed in class and Architecture Form Space and Order, the four prime generators of form are point, line, plane, and volume. Dots turn into lines, lines turn into planes, and planes create volumes; the progression of these elements turns from 1D all the way to 3D. These elements are used to help describe interior design and architecture. Many different examples are shown in the book, but one that we also talked about in class and was in the book is horizontal planes in Falling Waters by Frank Lloyd Wright. Drawing, especially sketching, is an important way to express one’s ideas. As an artist, you should always have a sketchbook and pencil on hand no matter where you go. Four basic, yet critical drawing skills talked about in the Sketching Interiors book are: perception of edges, perception of spaces, perception of light and shadow, and how to perceive spatial relationships. Some other useful tools to bring while sketching are sketch papers, colored pencils, an er...
