That last experiment reminded me of wheels spinning so i decided to put lights on bicycle wheels and then have a little cycle..photographing the movement of course.

THE RESULT OF DIFFERENT MOVEMENTS OF LIGHT

I wanted to start looking at different movements of light. To do this i have photographed different forms of moving lights to see what shapes and movements would be created

• SPINNING

To record this movement i wanted to make something that could shine light and also spin at the same time. I used a tube and drilled out several holes. The light would be shone in each end of the tube and i hoped the cut out circles would light up and be used to create the circular shapes.

This was the 'tool' i made for this.

Also to make it a bit more interesting i added colour by using the sweet wrappers once again.


And here were the results..

Lit up..

And SPIIIIIIIIIIIINN..

I switched around the colours to add versatility.



I then took a picture of all of the colours in the one.

And then to add more movement i moved it around to create these effects..

I havn't done  post in a while. I guess im not very good at this blogging thing. But i'm going to post up all the work i've done now.



PAINTING AND WORK AFTER LOOKING AT LIGHTS.

LIGHT PAINTING

I originally started making basic shapes with a simple flashlight. I enjoyed experimenting and seeing what different shapes could be created....

As time went on my images were getting better and i then introduced colour by covering the flashlight in coloured sweet wrappers.

Here are some of my coloured images....

The different lines of colour in these pictures create motion and speed. I think this is very interesting so i developed into this and I started looking at these lines of colour which led me to working with lights and the speed of light creating a similar effect as in these pictures below. I tried to remake my orignal images using lights....

I made these images by 'painting' with lights in a dark room and taking a picture. O personally prefer the picture with colour as i think it is more exiting and really captures the effect of somebody running at speed.

I started off looking at human motion in the beginning and the different movements of the body during different activities. I then started looking at human motion in relation to speed and rapid movement and I became extremely interested in the blur effect of colour this speed created when i took pictures of people running. Here are some examples of the pictures i had taken....

My first post!

I'm Gillian and I'm in first year in LSAD. The title of the project we have been given is 'Movement and Motion'. This project will last for 3 months and over this time i will be posting my progress. When we were first given the project title, i thought long and hard about what direction i would like to take with it. I put the two words, movement and motion, into the centre of the page and started to brainstorm. After some time, I had a number of ideas however the one that i have decided to do in movement of the human body.
