Creative Lighting is the first-ever course and graduate program on the theory and practice of light art. It teaches students how to use light to engage perception, emotion, memory, and imagination. The course covers light art history, light art theory, light art practice that employs traditional lighting sources, and experimental light art practice that utilizes new media to create transformative light art experiences. Throughout the practice-based learning, students are thought to employ both traditional and cutting edge technologies to explore light and space interaction, light and sound, multi-sensory perception, conceptual and compositional strategies, the architecture of the time, and the relationship between (subject, content, meaning) and process.
