Requirements
No prior knowledge is needed: you will learn everything you need to know.
You'll either need architect's drawings for your home, or the following materials (so you can follow lessons on drawing your own scale plans): tape measure, squared paper, pencil, eraser, clipboard or a book to lean on, fine-tipped pens in different colours
To complete the class project on paper you'll need: a ruler, masking tape, tracing paper (or kitchen baking paper - non-waxed, non-silicon), plain paper, a yellow pencil crayon or highlighter pen
If you use CAD software regularly, you could draft plans digitally. Once you have a scale plan, the class project for the class could be completed in programmes like PowerPoint, Keynote, Procreate, Photoshop, Illustrator. Please note, the class does not include instruction on how to use these software programmes - the digital option is for regular users of the software mentioned.
To watch the class and read the notes, study time is approximately 2-3 hours. If you'd like to create a sketch lighting plan for a room in your home, you should allow a total study time of 2-3 days.
Good organisational skills, to follow lessons on drawing to scale and creating a lighting plan.

Good lighting is life-enhancing; it anticipates your needs, and supports daily routines by putting light in exactly the right place, and it creates beautiful, dramatic, creative, and relaxing environments.I'm Julia, I am an interior designer, and a design lecturer. For more than 20 years I've split my career between design practice - including lighting design - and teaching at London's top design school. My classes bring practical and clear step-by-step guidance, along with professional tips, tricks and short-cuts.Your home is equal parts gallery, laboratory, theatre, and retreat, and it's good lighting that helps you to create and switch the scenes.This class assumes no prior knowledge and starts from the very beginning. It includes simply-explained technical elements; the principles you must know to get the very best out of your home lighting scheme.Information is given in both metric and imperial measurements.HOW TO TAKE THIS CLASSThe running time for the class videos totals nearly two hours. When you pop in exercises and you work to create a project (along with reading the class notes) you should actually allow at least 2-3 study days if you want to produce a bespoke sketch lighting plan for a room in your home.As a first step, start by watching the whole class all the way through to the end. This will help you understand the scope of the class, and the context of the exercises and project.Then, taking it slowly, start again at the beginning and watch again. This time stop to complete the short exercises.Finally, when you feel you've digested the materials, when you feel comfortable, start work on your live project.So, make sure to give yourself generous time for each stage, at least a couple of hours to survey your space, and a few more hours for 'painting with light' exercises, or for drafting a sketch lighting plan.It would take an experienced lighting designer a day or so to work up a scheme for your home, so give yourself ample time - this way you'll get the very best outcomes for using light to transform your home!
