For this assignment Corry mears and I chose to study fabrics that could be found in our studio space. We examined a blue cotton shirt, the fabric that runs on the wall along the digital lab that is used for pinning up, carpet found in the digital lab, and the leather upholstery on the natuzzi sofa in the library.
The light sources these fabrics were under varied. Cotton shirt was examined under the halogen lights found in the third year studio. These lights offered task lighting with a relatively low intensity, how ever with a high quality of color rending. Both the carpet and leather upholstery were viewed under florescent lighting. This was another type of task lighting. The pin up wall was viewed under MR 16’s. These lights also served as task lighting. They offered a spotlight effect that can be used to highlight work that is pined up along the wall.
After studying these lights under the lighting conditions we found them in we introduced an incandescent lamp to each of the surfaces. The cotton shirt, carpet and pin up wall were affected in the same way. The colors in the fabric appeared to be brighter and warmer. When introducing the incandescent bulb to the leather upholstery a harsh glare was produced]
I would revisit these studies and break it down by each question for each fabric. What did you notice on each of these fabrics that dealt with Flynns impressions. You also did not talk any about how you would go about fixing each space.
