Hello, I'm handing my Art pieces in for my AS at the end of today. My teacher thought it would be a good idea to research some artists that focus on light, use a lot of it in their work, or connect their work to light. For example, the course I have chosen is photography, connecting to quotes or phrases associated with light. Thanks Guys.. any names of artists, or their work would be a tremendous help!
Johannes Vermeer (also known as Jan Vermeer) is probably worth looking up... Wikipedia says: To tie in with your photography, it is now believed he used a pinhole type camera obscura to project his scenes onto the canvas to help sketch them out... He's probably best known for his 'Girl With a Pearl Earring' which inspired a recent film of the same name. Some useful links: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johannes_Vermeer http://www.about-vermeer-art.com/ Hope this helps
