Acrylic, oil and water-based paints, canvas, celluloid film– all are well-known mediums for painting and photography. ___1___ You get light painting, of course.

压克力颜料、油彩及水彩、油画布和胶卷，这些都是众所皆知的绘画及摄影材料。但如果将这两项艺术的表现手法结合，并用光取代涂料后会怎样呢？理所当然地会是光影涂鸦。

Light painting involves taking pictures in a dark room, or some other dark location, and moving either a light source or the camera itself to produce lines of light on the finished photograph. ___2___ The first person to use this technique was Man Ray, who in 1935, published a series of photographs called “Space Writing,” ___3___

光影涂鸦包含了在暗室或其它昏暗的地点里拍照，以移动光源或照相机，使完成的照片里产生光的线条。这些光的线条像是某种图案或设计。第一位运用此技术的人是曼．雷，他于1935年发表了一系列名为《Space Writing》的摄影作品。但他的光影涂鸦却直到74年后，在摄影师艾伦．凯莉发现雷的确用小手电筒在他自己的照片上签名时才为人所知。

___4___ One day in 1949, he was visited by Gjon Mili, a pioneer in the world of light painting. Mili showed Picasso his pictures of ice skaters with lights attached to their skates. ___5___ If you’d like to give light painting a try as well, you don’t need much – just a camera, a tripod, a flashlight, and a dark room, and you’re good to go!

多年来，已有一些知名的艺术家涉足光影涂鸦，其中最受好评的或许就是巴勃罗．毕加索了。在1949年的某天．格杨．米利去拜访毕加索；米利是光影涂鸦界的先驱，他让毕加索看他拍的溜冰者照片，他们的冰鞋上装上灯。毕加索受到这些照片的启发，拿起手电筒在空中画了些光影，创造出一系列的毕加索光影涂鸦作品。如果你也想试试光影涂鸦，你不需要有很多东西──只要一台相机、一个三脚架、一支手电筒及一间暗房，你就准备好了，可以拍啰！

－by Joe Henley

(A)   Several famous artists have dabbled in light painting over the years, perhaps none more highly-regarded than Pablo Picasso.

(B)   This inspired Picasso to pick up a flashlight and draw light images in the air, and led to a series of pictures known as Picasso’s light drawings.

(C)   But this was not known until 74 years later, when photographer Ellen Carey discovered that Ray had actually signed his name on the pictures with a penlight.

(D)  But what happens when these two means of artistic expression are brought together, and paint is replaced with light?

(E)   These lines of lights resemble some sort of image or design.
