On Tuesday each group presented their seminar on their specific colour. It was really helpful having the different colours unpacked in a design capacity. I found getting a broader context around specific colours gave them more depth and adds another layer of detail when they’re being used in different spaces and products.
On Thursday we visited St James Theatre. We were given some context to the buildings history as-well as its future. It was built in 1928 designed by architect Henry Eli White who has also designed other theatres around NZ and Australia. The Theatre closed in 2007 due to concerns with the health and safety of the site. The theatre put on a few shows a few years ago so show the public that it was still in good nick and was just in need of repair rather than to be demolished. At this point all repairs and restorations have halted.
The theatre is classified as a “Category I” (“places of special or outstanding historical or cultural heritage significance or value”) historic place by the New Zealand Historic Places Trust.
It’s been a theatre for live shows and a night club Now people break in and drink etc. in its current state.
Experience in drawings:
These drawings focus on light and shadow and the different ways they were created within the theatre. Soft shadows and strong shadows. 
These drawings focus on the use of colour within the theatre. I looked at the depth the colours created and the relationship between them. 
These drawings focus on patten found throughout the theatre.
