I really enjoy our assigned "readings" for this class. People are so creative and can mesh their talent with technology to produce some great things. For the first project, I would love to create a highly layered, highly digitized piece of art, but I can tell you honestly that that is not going to happen, because I am not technologically savvy enough to implement such devices....
I am aiming more toward a concrete poem, still creative, but not so "techy."
I have also, however, bravely thought about doing something with just a few links... I'm not sure, but I doubt that I will.
I have been thinking about a lot of subjects/words to use in my "notated word" project, but I am still not sure of exactly which I will choose.
Some subjects/words I have tossed around are:
Baby, Aeroplane, Cheese, Haircut, Clams, Bibliothek...
I just have to move on and do some sketches on paper. I will probably use either MS Paint or MS Word (or both) as the vehicle for my poem?story?game?
I guess it's time to get started...

Countdown to a Textual/Visual Intersection, Supplemental
After reading the email before class, and then hearing even more information in class, I fell confident in the project. I felt pretty confident before, but the extra information was helpful. I have been thinking a lot about the project between my blog posting last night and class today.
I really do not have any questions, because I think we will see some examples of technology used in this manner in class today, which will probably clarify my technology questions...
(Some practice above.)
So you definitely have some good ideas right now. Everything seems pretty general right now, but it is the beginning of the project. Out of curiosity, do the words your considering using make any connection? I'm assuming they do, but if not, maybe you could choose just a couple of words and find some images. It would look really cool if you could find images that somehow looked similar (in color, shape, or whatever) and overlapped and moved them to make all the images look like one combined image, but also making the individual images recognizable. Maybe throw some text you like in somewhere--or those random words.
ReplyDeleteI believe you are moving in the right direction. Do you know how to draw well? Because your own original drawing would really set your project apart from all of the rest.
