B04. Light and Surface

Five connected studies move light and surface from direct observation and explanation through controlled experiment, application and critique. Five active studies connect evidence, experiment, application and critique.

Observe → Understand → Experiment → Apply → Critique and record

• Visible Spectrum

  Begin Light and Surface with visible spectrum: observe directly and record the conditions before interpreting the result.

• Absorption and Reflection

  Within Light and Surface, build a working explanation of absorption and reflection, keeping the model distinct from the appearance it describes.

• Transmission

  In Light and Surface, test transmission by changing one controlled variable and comparing the evidence.

• Texture and Finish

  Apply texture and finish within Light and Surface to a practical color decision, preserving both the reasoning and its constraints.

• Changing Illuminants

  In Light and Surface, critique changing illuminants against evidence, exceptions and failure conditions before carrying it forward.
