Kaleidoscope Light Model

In this exercise, we created an interior space that would function as a night club. In this space we played with lighting to create a pattern and texture on the walls around the space. We placed a large diamond on top of a red transparent tube. We then used an LED light to shine from within the tube projecting through the diamond. We did this same thing with three other small diamonds and blue transparent tubes with tea lights. We varied the heights of all the tubes to see what this effect would have. We discovered that the light shining through the diamonds created a kaleidoscope type pattern along the walls, but mainly the ceiling. The blue and red tubes combine to make a magenta tint along the walls. We folded paper in the corner along the back wall with a tea light placed behind it to help create texture. The colors from the tube mixed with the tea light behind the paper mix to create an orange glow.

Inspiring Light



The light in this space is so powerful especially for the setting. The cross pops out so much filling the room with light in the church.

I love the beam of light shown here. It is really distinct in the image.

The patterns created in this space are really cool. The mixture of shapes moves the light around differently throughout the space creating the shadows.
I really enjoy this image. I love the intense light the sun creates on the environment.
