PROJECT #5: VISUAL METAPHOR #1

 RATIONALE:

To make images that are visual representations of an idea/theme. To practice creative problem solving by thinking metaphorically and representationally.


DIRECTIONS: 
This themed project is about visual metaphor.
Visual metaphor is the representation of an idea through place/person/object/time/composition/color/etc.

First: Think of nightmare. What does that mean to you? What is the first picture that comes to mind? THAT could be your starting point.

Next: With what you have access to in your personal life, how can you photograph your ideas in way that will produce a purposefully-composed image to represent each idea?

1. Make a photograph that represent your definition of what a "daydream" looks like.
2. Make a photograph that represent your definition of what a "nightmare" looks like.

*More than one photo for each would benefit your work. 
**Use props/place/objects/time of day/expression/composition/light/etc. as ideas for representing the spirit of your idea for both daydream and nightmare.
***Think outside the box to a sunny pleasant place...and inside to a dark corner of the box. Test your creativity in new and challenging ways.
****Next class, we will put together - and submit for scoring - this diptych.
