This assessment aims improve your awareness of how light is applied in our environment and to assist you to converse about lighting concepts.

You need to describe the space you have chosen in detail.

Your description will probably include information about the current lighting. Describe the lighting in terms of concepts, such as mood, functionality, style, aesthetics, etc.

Your description may also include information about the surfaces within your space – textures, colours etc.

You might describe the location of your space.

You might describe the size of your space.

You do not need a cover sheet or title page for the assignment.
Please do not limit your ideas to my suggestions!
Choose at least 3 of the topics listed: (Reflection, Transmission, Absorption, Refraction, and Dispersion)

For each of your chosen topics describe how the light interacts with the surfaces in your chosen environment.

For example, Sally chose a lift with mirrors on three walls, stainless steel doors, dark brown carpet and a painted matte white ceiling.

Sally described how the light was reflected, absorbed and dispersed within the space. She did this by breaking her environment into the three dominate surfaces. She then spoke about one of the listed topics for each surface.

Sally supported her findings with information found on an academic data base.
The example is designed to assist your understanding of the assignment. If you wish to get a high mark you will need to add your own ideas and approach.
