OBJECTS ARE ALSO EVENTS

" a great number of Chinese words do duty for both nouns and verbs- so one who thinks in Chinese
has little difficulty in seeing that objects are also events, that our world is a collection of processes
rather than things." Bones of the Master-George Crane

The objective of this exercise is to use Drawings and Photographs of your object to create a Transformed Image.

Guidelines:

-Choose 4 words to illustrate from your word list of the object.

-Choose 1 image, of the 4, to illustrate movement in your object.
How does your object have movement (rotate, explode, implode etc.)?
How do you depict this movement?

-Create 4 images: Minimum size 11”x14”
Methods: Digital or Traditional Canvas

1.Cut apart
Recombine
Photocopy/Repetition (make 2 copies at original size, 2 enlargements and 2 reductions)

2. Experiment: Scan actual object and experiment with the image on a digital canvas.
Drawings + Photographs = Transformed Image
(Traditional or Digital Canvas)

Employ 2D elements of Design:
Subject Form Content Unity Variety Balance Scale Proportion Rhythm Emphasis Space Movement Repetition Economy Line Shape Texture Value Color Unity Variety Balance Scale Proportion Rhythm Emphasis Space Movement Repetition Economy Line Shape

Due M Nov. 24: 4 Images 11”x 14” -Post 2 on your blog.
