TYPE you answers and submit  all written work and drawings by emailing or by handing in during class on TUESDAY Feb 10th.

Email is RGaddy@bellsouth.net.  Be sure you attach drawings/painting in JPG ..........The mail system will not let you send Bitmaps of these...they are too large for the NC mail server.  You MAY have to send multiple emails to attach all the pictures/graphics.  If so please label them as project A, Project B etc.

1.  Examine the lighting in this picture, Parable of the Rich Man, by Rembrandt.  What is the apparent lighting  source?  CLOSELY examine the highlights and shadows in the picture and determine if the apparent lighting source could actually produce this lighting.  Explain why or why not.

2.  Copy this picture to your computer  (right click on the picture --select copy or save picture as...etc)    Open the picture in whatever photo editing program you use---or in microsoft paint or microsoft draw.  Draw/paint in all the correct lighting angles based on the apparent light source (see sample with the couple and dog  painting on this page) and SAVE the picture as EXAMPLE ONE.

3.  REOpen the original saved picture (or save it again).  This time assume that the apparent light source is not real...or not powerful enough to produce the lighting shown.  Create lighting sources to produce the picture by painting in direction lines from the sides of the picture.  (decide where you would have to place light sources to actually produce the effect....assume you have a sky hook or you could hang at any place you needed)  SAVE this picture as EXAMPLE TWO.

4.  While the lighting appears to be "realistic" is it really?  Compare this picture to what you KNOW about lighting from various positions relative to the subject of the light.   ON THE STAGE, using lighting instruments notice where would you have to put light sources to re-create this picture.(see sample below)

Look at this picture by Vermeer

5.  What is the apparent light source in the picture above?  Is it presented realistically or not?   

6.  What has the painter chosen to emphasis or hide by light?  

7.  What mood is created?  What creates it?

8.  Here I have shown some of the highlights in the picture.  Explain  in writing  how they were created by the light.....identify the light source...  WHERE would you place lighting instruments to create this lighting? (use sketch  or copy and paint photo to clarifiy if you wish  Save as Example 3)

Partial direction and placement of lighting 

Part of the problem with lighting is to think in more than one dimension.....lighting comes not only from the side but from a height as well....   plot lighting sources on these drawings to show the light sources in the pictures above. (You may print out and draw on them, create your own sketch, or copy the pictures to a file and use "paint" or other program to create your placements.)  Label this as EXAMPLE 4
