Images about a Source

"I am more interested in how one thinks about something, than in what something looks like. I am interested in what a house or figure might mean to me. I am interested in my capacity to refer to it in terms of sculpture, but not to illustrate it orr to describe it." - Joel Shapiro, sculptor

"I like elements which are hybrid rather than pure, compromising rather than clean, distorted rather than articulated, perverse as well as personal, boring as well as interesting, conventional rathher than designed, accommodating rather than excluding, redundant rather than simple, vestigial as well as innovating, inconsistent and equivocaather than excluding, redundant rather than simple, vestigal as well as innovating, inconsistent and equivoca l rather than direct and clear..." - Robert Venturi, architect

Project Description: Document in digital slides a topic which is of significant interest to you and that you might use as a basis for your ensuing independent project. The sources topic is anything you define it to be: subjective, objective, purely visual, social/political implications, emotional or intellectual.
Secondly, type a one-page paper which gives meaning to the source. In this paper, try to define and identify the significance this source holds for you. Note: Avoid cliches, unless your interests are, in fact, about cliches.

Guidelines for the Sources Images: all images must be scanned as was learned last semester. Please avoid using low quality images from the web. So your images should be at least 180 dpi and at least 4” x 7”. Images resed up from a smaller webdownloaded image will look poor. Make sure that you include the caption, artists name, and size/medium with each image.

Guidelines for the presentation of the images -Prepare your presentation by putting your images in the order you wish to present them to the class. Ideally you should make a Powerpoint Presentation. There are other ways to do this as well: Imovie, Iphoto, etc. Discuss why you respond to this area of interest - an interpretation which lends meaning to the choice. Use music or a sound recording to augment the expressive ideas evoked by the images.

Guidelines for the Sources Paper - The purpose of this one page typed paper is to describe the significance this source has for you, it will allow you to make more conscious connections in working with this topic. It will give your work more depth, resonance and expressive power. - If you don't know why something interests you, say so. What meaning does this source have to you? If you are able to establish the meaning of your topic, you will have a greater sense of direction in future work you do with this topic. Also I'm not looking for a lot of words just to fill up the page. If you can express what you need to succinctly, in a paragraph, then do so.
All papers must be typed to receive credit.
