[RE]ACTIONS

Rotation

It is the act or movement of turning around the center of an axis.  When something is positioned one way and then rotated it will look different or you would be looking at a completely side.

Movement

“Movement is meant to express, the rise and fall, the advance and recess, with other diversity of form, in different parts of a building, so as to add greatly to the picturesque of the composition.” (Blakemore, 306)  Over time there have been many different movements and each one has its own style and sometimes movements will come back for a little while. Especially with clothing styles an older woman will see a younger girls clothes and say I wore those when I was younger.  Same as with design the older styles of furniture will come back in style.

 

Reflection

When I think about a reflection I first think of seeing myself in a mirror.  Sometimes you can see your reflection in a dark window or water.  You often see the reflection of trees and nature in water of images with a lake or river.  Also a reflection can be your thoughts about something you have observed or heard.

Source

It is the direct place where something comes from such as the information you obtain from a book or person.  I often look on the Internet to get a source for something.  When I think of source I think about a light source and the different types of lighting.  A light source can be from a window when it is daytime or the use of artificial lights from a light bulb.

 

 

Illumination

It is to make an object glow or to highlight the important areas by using lights.  It can be with natural or artificial such as candles or lamps.  We have learned a lot this week about the importance of light.  We were to build an object based on how it reflected light.  Also when we rendered our room space we looked at where the light would come from and where it would be darkest and lightest with shadows.
