EXPANDING
THE NARRATIVE
For this
assignment you will choose a short excerpt from a piece of text. It
can be as short as one page (as short as a sentence, even), but cannot
exceed 3 pages.
From this
piece of text, analyze the themes/imagery/symbols presented. Then use
this information to create an abstracted/expanded narrative for a series of
figurative-based drawings.
The series
should be at least 3 drawings, of a scale that is of relation to the subject
matter/style being used.
For TUESDAY, APRIL 29th:
Choose the
piece of text & make a photocopy that I can keep
Write one
page/make a one page list of the themes/imagery/symbols of interest
Make a
series of sketches/short proposal as to your approach for expanding this
narrative
Remember
to make this narrative your own. Use figures (yourself/friends/family) to
stage photographs to use as reference imagery. At least one drawing of
the series needs to be figurative, but the other drawings can be of other
subject matter that is used to define/enhance the narrative you are
attempting to portray.
IMPORTANT:
Narratives can be sequential or non-sequential (over the course of
minutes? hours? years? back in time? with no sense of time?)
This
series of drawings will be due on THURSDAY, MAY 8th
