The end of the course will be the presentation of one project. | |||
I chose a project around shadows as mentioned above. | |||
Title: Shadow Distortion | |||
In my project I aim to compare to groups of students who work with | |||
3D-modelling on a daily basis. | |||
My goal is the analysis of their spatial sense based on shadow distortion. | |||
My approach to this analysis is as follows. | |||
First part: | |||
I will take approximately 10 pictures of simple objects with different | |||
illumination. | |||
The lightsource will not be depicted in the photo. | |||
For each picture there will be a spatial map where the lightsource was | |||
located. This is kept secret from the probands and will be revealed | |||
only after the experiment is over. | |||
The probands will be given a spatial map without the lightsource and | |||
asked to draw the lightsource into the given spatial map. | |||
Second part: | |||
I will take again 10 pictures of different simple objects and then | |||
draw them as close to reality as possible. Then these drawn objects | |||
will be scanned in. | |||
But instead of preserving the original shadows I will distort some of | |||
the shadows or place them somewhere different from their original | |||
position. | |||
This is also the second part for the probands. | |||
Given these 10 images they will be asked to point the lightsource again. | |||
Given that the reflection and refraction will stay the same the | |||
probands may detect that the pictures have wrong shadow placement. | |||
It is still uncertain if they will be given the knowledge of | |||
wrong-placed shadows in some of the images in advance or be left to | |||
find out on their own. | |||
After having collected all data needed the data will be visualized | |||
using stochastical forms and a conclusion will be drawn concerning my | |||
hypothesis which is that artists have indeed a better spatial sense | |||
than computer graphic students. | |||
The form of my art projected will be a folder with all collected | |||
material concerning this work. This folder can be copied and there | |||
will not be one original. | |||
The pictures drawn then scanned and shot will be included as well as | |||
documentation of the experiment and the captured thought process of | |||
the test persons. | |||
Overlapping maps of all placed lightsources in the spatial maps | |||
including the real one will be added, too. | |||
Also the analysis in form of charts and a short text summarizing the | |||
conclusion, hypthesis and my thought process on this project. | |||
