Thinking about the use of light in art

What is the potential for light to be symbolic in a work of art?

• The lighting in art work could bring out the little details, it could give the picture a new look, it could also provide the picture with different reactions and views. i think that the lighting in on a stage is also symbolic because it causes people to focus on what is being showed.
  

What could it symbolize and why?

• I think lighting in art could symbolize importance, shading, and details that the picture has, also the lighting on a stage in the performing arts is also important because it causes people to focus on different things. That's why i think lighting in any art is important and cool.
