UK Art Museum Visual Essay

This painting uses color in an interesting way. Unfortunately it was the only item I got to photograph before my phone dyed.

The UK art museum is really a beautiful building, It blends well with the rest of campus and the auditorium inside is breathtaking when lit. The art museum portion is also beautiful the lighting is soft and gives a warm feel to the rooms. The lights hit the art works just enough so that the artwork really sticks out. The room is pretty barren of color so that the artwork is able to stand out.

This is a sketch of one of the larger display walls that are used to showcase the artwork. It is barren of color so that you can focus on the artwork. The other is a sketch of the exterior of the Singletary center.

 
The sketch on the left is the auditorium which uses light to direct the attention of the audience. the sketch on the right is of a statue that is displayed outside the art museum, the metal it is constructive of reflects the light and adds to the art. 

 

These are sketches all demonstrate how that light is used to spotlight different artworks. the lighting of the art museum is just as important as the artworks that is displayed.
