"And I Quote..."
One of the most difficult things in making imagery is deciding
what is interesting enough to spend the time, effort and money
on. Because ideas can sometimes be elusive, many artists
have used writing as a way of jump-starting their visual aesthetics. It
is common to see art that is inspired by, or that illustrates,
particular writings, novels, plays, sayings, songs, poetry, language,
stories, myths, etc.
Your assignment is to choose a piece of writing and make imagery
from it. This means you can directly recreate a scene or
place or character to illustrate, or you can take the
feelings (or general emotions) of the work and make something entirely
different.
As always, it is up to you the artist to interpret the
assignment and to find a way to make imagery you want to make within
the boundaries set by the criteria of the assignment.
The
written piece can be anything from a word (sound?) to a series
of novels…just make sure you don’t loose focus on
your idea. You should write the intent of your idea down
to maintain focus.
Notes:
Do a quick write to get all the adjectives out on paper. Walk away from
the paper for a while, then return and select the words that generate imagery
in your mind.
Try to pre-visualize a scene.
Tape a piece of tape to the back of your camera and write a key word on it. This
will help you maintain focus on a particular idea every time you bring the camera
close to your face.
