STUDENT EXAMPLE OF A VISUAL METAPHOR:

The apple above is a photo a student made for the word "forbidden." The photo tells a story in relation to the word? Good, huh? ;) Use this as an example to inspire your creative thinking. Go beyond the obvious. Push your brain to make unusual/unexpected connections to images.

PROJECT #4B: LIGHT WRITING w/s

DIRECTIONS: 

1. Do this outside at night, or in darkness. 

2. Use a small light source (pen light/sparkler/phone screen on bright/etc.)

3. Slow your shutter speed to a very slow time (5sec, 1 sec, 30sec...). 

4. Position the camera on something sturdy so it will not move during the open shutter time. 

5. Have someone, or yourself, aim the light at the camera.

6. When ready, snap the picture (open the shutter) and write the word/phrase/something in the air with light source. 

7. Start at "1" on the list.

8. Enjoy the process.
