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.

The Potential of Found Objects

In other words how or why did the artists choose the objects they did? Use specific examples from the pictures below.
I think the that the materials the artists used to sculpt with were chosen because they were inspiring and sparked an idea within the artist. It could also be that those were the only supplies available at that time.

How does someone else working on your drawing add or take away from your drawing?

When I started my drawing I pictured two little penguins on there way to school it was snowing and they were almost there. When i got back to my drawing i saw a penguine covered in "snow" and the other had a lot of snow on his back. I didn't really like what i saw because it was not what i had in mind so I took off the snow and tried to paint the penguin back to its color
