THE ART OF INTEGRATION OF LIGHT AND SHADE IN MODERN DESIGN

With the development of the society, people’s perspective of aesthetics appreciation in modern art and design has refined gradually and artistic innovations have also diversified. The style of expressing different emotions and senses through art has become the key to aesthetics. As a kind of art, optic artistry itself exists in modern art design in the form of performance element. It is the organic integration of static and dynamic. Light and shadow produce colors enhancing the work style but brilliant works speak when the effective and inexpensive techniques of light reflection highlights the design elements. Light cannot be separated from the notion of Form and Space.

The use of natural light has been marveled in various architecture wonders but seldom is the consideration of the shadowed areas caused in the design space. In modern art design, we can create shadows and patchy shadows through natural light, form different forms or patterns by the using the intensity and direction of shadow, create the atmosphere of works by using the shadows of light to highlight the smart feelings of works; we also can use light reflection to suggest stories, or show our design attitudes. Designers can experience science and virtual scenes through light reflection to achieve new effects of the art. In order to achieve the design purpose, designers usually use the light reflection through rich artistic creativity and imagination to play the role of light to its utmost in space designing

A successful lighting scheme should be integrated into the design at an early stage. The inclusion of lighting design during the conceptual phases enables the lighting to enhance a perception of space, reinforce the activity within a space or highlight prominent areas. Light reflection not only diversifies languages in modern art, but also enhances the aesthetic connotations and characteristics of modern art, and in the meanwhile, it enhances the expressive forces of art works and gives a greater impact on works. According to their own creative needs, artists can use the charm and value of light and shadow to design deep, amazing, and more delicate artistic works in modern art

A building is never experienced all at once or from a distance. The journey through the building influences the perception of the user. Among all the arts, architecture engages the most with our sensory perceptions. The complete experience of architecture can be gained only when elements like color, texture, material, detail and light and shadow are incorporated. Light and shadow can create dynamism within a space by giving the space a meaning which is beyond function. The atmosphere of a space is greatly influenced by the element of light.
