Atmosphere 330: March 2015

Group: Molly Lewis, Abby Culver, Ryan Scott, Molly Gilpin and Emma Solomon.

As a group these are the answers we got from the question "what is atmosphere?"

Based on the knowledge we each individually had about atmosphere and what we had learnt from week 1 readings.

Moods

They can change depending, a solemn atmosphere can be created by a serious mood.
Only since the 18th Century, has it been used for moods, referred to moods that are "in the air".
Before that it was only referred to as an envelope of air that carries the weather.
Can be involved wherever something is being staged or wherever a design is a factor.
The way in which it communicates a feeling to us as participating subjects.

Producing atmospheres

In 20th Century, came light and sound through electrical technology.
This allowed for atmosphere to be created in not only physical space but acoustic. Producing an atmosphere is what you make of a subject or object as an individual.

Feeling atmospheres

An atmosphere is like a sixth sense.
They relationship between the human and atmosphere can be felt more strongly in certain, familiar places or unconscious situations.
Humans can sense a different or similar atmosphere to others and the atmosphere can affect the human in different ways.

Place and atmosphere

Different scenes such as an exhibition in a gallery, creates different atmosphere for each human and subject. Compared to entering a forest where it could be a really peaceful atmosphere or could make the human feel really uncomfortable.
Atmospheres are different for each person depending on how you interpret and/or maximize the space.
Affected and moved by the things around us causes for atmospheric conditions.
