The Light Universe

Somewhere about the last two weeks of Mr. Sands's class, we did light drawings using only glow sticks.  How is this possible?  First, we needed to buy glow sticks from a store obviously.   Next, we turn off the lights until not a single light can be seen except from our glow sticks.  We used a camera to capture every little frame and motion from our glow sticks as we used our glow sticks to create shapes, words, a scenario, or just a flawless flow of different colors, making them look like elegant ribbons or aura-like scenes. But before this amazing project, we formed a team and sketched down ideas what kinds of shapes, scenarios, etc. we should make with glow sticks.  It was not that difficult to plan. The results?  Is this...





This had to be one of the best projects we've ever done.  We enjoyed it a whole lot.  There was nothing difficult here in this project.  It was all fun and entertaining.  I felt very successful when making this project because we were able to enable our creativity potential and gave us confidence we can make an amazing artwork through simple objects which in this case are the glow sticks.  What worked out on this project was that we, as a team, agreed together what kinds of artworks we should make with our glow sticks.  What did not work out was sometimes we were not able to make some of our desired sceneries.  For example, trying to create a beach scenario, an outer space, etc.  But this project was still extremely fun!  If we were to do this again, the changes I would consider would be going to a much wider place/area to have more space and
create more exciting artworks with our glow sticks.

We hope we can do another project like this some other time. :)
