For this project we had to make a light box from white board 6x6x18. Before we made the box we had to do a light study; look at different light situations. The lighting situation I chose was sunlight reflecting off of a highly reflective/prismatic surface and on to the wall.
This is my picture of the reflective light.
This is the inside of the first light box. The interior and exterior of the box are entirely white. On this box I drilled holes in two of the sides, the light streamed in through those holes.
This is the light box from the exterior. The hole in the center seam serves as the view finder.
As part of our color week, we remade the light box using the color scheme from our 18 color study.
When we remade our light box the new dimensions were 4x4x12. On the inside of my light box I put stripes of color on the two sides of the box that did not have the holes. The colors were symmetrically laid out with the second darkest pink-red in the middle and the colors becoming more blue until they were the darkest cyan of the bottom triangle. I then adhered very highly reflective silver paper to the inside of either end of the box, this gave the illusion that the colors continue indefinitely.
This is the center of the colored light box. You can see the color gradient if you look carefully. I think this is successful because you can see the color gradient in the reflected light more than in the paper, itself.
Here is a picture down one side of the box. The gradients of cyan are very clear but all of the gradients beyond the darkest cyan are a reflection. Again, the reflected light reveals the actual paper color.
