Lecture #6

On Tuesday October 20th, 2009. The speaker Sharon Louden talked about the field of multi-media. In her lecture she discussed her educational field, where she studied and how it helped her with her abstract art work. She got her masters degree at Yale, where she studied more formal ideas of what art work is. In installations she uses the principles that she learned in her art class in her bachelor and masters years to create these interesting three dimensional hanging installations. She uses a mixture of glass and fiber optic lights to create a permenant installation above a families dinner room table.
She also focused on glow in the dark materials used in installation form to create an installation that can be seen in the light and in the dark. She called the glow and the dark company and asked if they could specifically make her blue glow in the dark stuff.
I do have to say that her presentation was interesting, but i do believe that her animation presentation was't as interesting.
