3. History of Light Art
✤ Light was studied by scientists and painted artists named, James Clerk Maxwell.
✤ He studied the wave-like properties of light and discovered that light is an electromagnetic wave.
✤ According to Monet’s “Haystacks and Rouen Cathedral Series” it showed similarity with Maxwell’s discovery.
✤ Seurat created a painting which also displayed light but in myriad dots of color.
✤ FOR EXAMPLE: metal’s electrons get ejected when the light frequency or the amplitude touched or varied smoothly.
However, there were limits to electrons getting ejected, but a rise of light frequency brought change of color in violet
of the spectrum. < This was called the “photo-electric effect.”
✤ Lastly, Einstein stated that the “photo-electric effect” is consisted of small particles or packets of energy. (called
“photons” later on discovered by, Gilbert Lewis).

7. Advancements of Light Art
✤ 1. Considered by various colors and energies of spectrum, that matter and energy are the same thing with different
forms.
✤ 2. In Ancient Rome, stained glass has been also a history of art in use of light. These windows were created from
great cathedrals and it came from a German monk called Theophilus.
✤ 3. Shadow Puppetry, which was first began in China.
✤ 4. (Modern) Inventions of electrical artificial light to create sculptures and designs with light.

14. Advantages of Light Art
✤ Incandescent: Warm colors such as red, orange, brown are produced or enhanced with Incandescent light. It also
contains low UV(light which can produce skin cancer).
✤ Fluorescent: Fluorescent light don’t emit light alike the UV lights.
✤ Halogen: It emits strong, full spectrum with higher effective color temperature. This emits both cold light and warm
light that can greatly enhance artwork. They also go for a very long time to about 4,000 hours.
✤ LED: LED has Zero UV, Zero Heat, Low Power and Long Life.

spectrum of light near ultraviolet in
concerned with radiation.
✤ Fluorescent: It emits high UV rays which
fade and damage the art.

27. Global Issue & Light in Economy
✤ Too much use in electricity and energy, that money can be wasted. Even if
LED is used, the price increases.
✤ Energy source will decrease and effect the economic system.
✤ Advertisements and decorations for London Olympics 2012.
✤ “Many think that it’s good for sight seeing and the tourists would bring in
money for the new things they see.”
