Thursday lesson 2

This lesson we were discussing all of our living galleries and then went around the school and had to note down three rooms or spaces we would like to use for them, we took pictures. my partner and i found a small musical theatre practice room that would be a perfect size to use, the next room we found was a peri room that was smaller than the musical theatre practice and the last was the theatre storage room where the audience would watch from outside the door we chose these spaces because we don't feel like we had to use a big room for our living gallery and the smaller the room the more impact will have on the audience. when coming back to the lesson we discussed the name we were going to call our pieces and my partner and i agreed on the name ' Colour blind' its a play on words as we are both communicating to our viewers that they do not appreciate colour while using a phrase that is used to describe people that cannot see certain colours. we went over the props list we would need for this; UV paint, water, two bowls, towel, optical illusions, small lights and a speaker to play the voice recording.


What is colour blindness?
Colour (color) blindness (colour vision deficiency, or CVD) affects approximately 1 in 12 men (8%) and 1 in 200 women in the world. In Britain this means that there are approximately 2.7 million colour blind people (about 4.5% of the entire population), most of whom are male.
There are different causes of colour blindness. For the vast majority of people with deficient colour vision the condition is genetic and has been inherited from their mother, although some people become colour blind as a result of other diseases such as diabetes and multiple sclerosis or they acquire the condition over time due to the aging process, medication etc.

Most colour blind people are able to see things as clearly as other people but they unable to fully ‘see’ red, green or blue light. There are different types of colour blindness and there are extremely rare cases where people are unable to see any colour at all.
