Luminescence...images of model

Here are various images of my model luminaire. My original inspiration were Northern Lights. As I was brainstorming and working on my model, I felt that creating light similar to northern lights was becoming slightly impossible. I built my structure out of black foam board and cut it with three open ends and one solid back. I also made a small structure on the inside for the light bulb to sit on it's own. I painted tissue paper using a mixture of colors such as blues, greens, pinks, purples, yellows. My goal was to create a smooth transition of colors from a deep purple to a bright yellow (as seen in an earlier image of northern lights that inspired me). As I began painting the tissue paper, I realized that it was not going to be a smooth and as fluid as I was hoping, but I ran with it, actually liking how it was coming together. I then applied the three sections of tissue paper to the three open sides. The light cast was not exactly northern lights to the eye (it had more of a water color appeal). But when placed against a white wall or backdrop, the colors cast give off the look I was going for.

Luminescence... drawing

Here is the drawing of my luminaire. The objective was to show the color cast by the luminaire, and was easily done by drawing on black canon paper using colored pencils. I chose purple, yellow, and white to show how the light shines from my luminaire. We had to include a front view, a section, an elevation, along with a descriptive rendition.

The Blanding's Lake House - floor plan, section, and elevation

For this assignment, we had to submit construction documents (the Plan 'A1', Section 'A2', and Elevation 'A3'), including accurate measurements, symbols, and space planning logic. All drawings were done on 18X24 sheets of vellum paper, and drawn with pen using appropriate line weights.

The Blanding's Lake House - Two One-point Perspectives

As the second part of this assignment, we had to draw two one-point perspectives of the Blanding's future home. One of the perspectives had to include our custom luminary and both had to include other furniture and fixtures, and scale figures. The drawings were done on 18X24 sheets of bond paper, and were drawn in pen.
