Art 220 Day 7
Today in class we had more exercise of changing meaning with images. Our homework was to pick one word, quote, or phrase and to pick 10 images that can change the meaning of that quote. After seeing a couple examples from other students I understood the concept. To change the meaning of a word or powerful quote with an image that is completely opposite can stimulate different feelings and emotions. Showing an image of people fighting and attaching the word love to that image adds depth. Complicating a simple image and creating conflict causes interest. In our group the people that brought images had about 4 or 5 that really worked with their phrase or word. It helps to see other people ideas and it broadens my visual conception of how I perceive things. These group efforts stimulate talk, conversation, and ideas that further my logical intake. I enjoy the contrasting perspectives and to see how the class interrogates each others visualizations.

I also like hearing other people's ideas and interpretations. It's good that Jimmy puts us in groups to share our opinions and ideas so that we could learn from each other.
ReplyDeleteI can't agree with you more how changing the meaning of a word or powerful qoute with an image that is completely opposite can have different feelings and motions. I was part of this group and again I agree with you on how some students had 5 to 6 good ones that actually worked with the image they had and by doing this excerise it helped us out visually instead of some other kind of method.
