Map of Life @Hudson (in progress)

Map of Life:

My Example:

   

   

   

Day 1: Brainstorm

1. Environment Design  (5 minutes to record)

+ What environments describe our life? Are there multiple? 

+ Do you want to build a map based on your life out of real/literal things? Or are there symbolic landscapes that feel more evocative?

+ What are some possible landscapes we could us to describe our experiences? (An airplane taking us to different countries, a treasure map, a moon landing, a river?)

1. Diseño del Entorno
(5 minutos para registrar)

+ ¿Qué entornos describen nuestra vida? ¿Hay varios?

+ ¿Quieres construir un mapa basado en tu vida con cosas reales/literales? ¿O hay paisajes simbólicos que resulten más evocadores?

+ ¿Cuáles son algunos paisajes posibles que podríamos usar para describir nuestras experiencias? (¿Un avión que nos lleva a diferentes países, un mapa del tesoro, un aterrizaje en la luna, un río?)


1. Conception de l'environnement
(5 minutes pour noter)

+ Quels environnements décrivent notre vie ? Y en a-t-il plusieurs ?

+ Voulez-vous construire une carte basée sur votre vie à partir de choses réelles / littérales ? Ou y a-t-il des paysages symboliques qui semblent plus évocateurs ?

+ Quels sont quelques paysages possibles que nous pourrions utiliser pour décrire nos expériences ? (Un avion nous emmenant dans différents pays, une carte au trésor, un alunissage, une rivière ?)

2. Obstacles - things in our lives that slow us down or force us to deviate in our path 

+ What is an obstacle? What are some ways they might manifest in someone's life?

+ What obstacles have we faced, or expect we might have to come up against at some point?  

+ What could we use to represent those obstacles? (Anxiety Monsters, Walls, Sisyphus etc)

2. Obstáculos - cosas en nuestras vidas que nos ralentizan o nos obligan a desviarnos de nuestro camino

+ ¿Qué es un obstáculo? ¿De qué maneras podrían manifestarse en la vida de alguien?

+ ¿Qué obstáculos hemos enfrentado, o esperamos que podríamos tener que enfrentar en algún momento?

+ ¿Qué podríamos usar para representar esos obstáculos? (Monstruos de ansiedad, Muros, Sísifo, etc.)


2. Obstacles - des choses dans nos vies qui nous ralentissent ou nous obligent à dévier de notre chemin

+ Qu'est-ce qu'un obstacle ? Quelles sont certaines façons dont ils pourraient se manifester dans la vie de quelqu'un ?

+ Quels obstacles avons-nous rencontrés, ou prévoyons-nous que nous pourrions devoir affronter à un moment donné ?

+ Que pourrions-nous utiliser pour représenter ces obstacles ? (Monstres de l'Anxiété, Murs, Sisyphe, etc.)

3. Pathways through Life  

+ What does your path look like? Smooth? Rocky? Like a maze, a garden, a golden brick road, a stairway to heaven? What are some different kinds of pathways?

+ What support structures exist in your life? (Family, friends, religion, sports, time/coming of age/future plans?)

+ What are your goals? (To get through High School, to become an adult, to pass regents, to know yourself?) 

3. Caminos a través de la vida

+ ¿Cómo se ve tu camino? ¿Suave? ¿Rocoso? ¿Como un laberinto, un jardín, un camino de ladrillos dorados, una escalera al cielo? ¿Cuáles son algunos tipos diferentes de caminos?

+ ¿Qué estructuras de apoyo existen en tu vida? (Familia, amigos, religión, deportes, tiempo/transición a la adultez/planes futuros?)

+ ¿Cuáles son tus metas? (Pasar la escuela secundaria, convertirte en adulto, aprobar los exámenes de regentes, conocerte a ti mismo?)


3. Chemins de la vie

+ À quoi ressemble votre chemin ? Lisse ? Rocheux ? Comme un labyrinthe, un jardin, une route de briques dorées, un escalier vers le paradis ? Quels sont quelques différents types de chemins ?

+ Quelles structures de soutien existent dans votre vie ? (Famille, amis, religion, sports, temps/passage à l'âge adulte/plans pour l'avenir ?)

+ Quels sont vos objectifs ? (Passer le lycée, devenir adulte, réussir les examens officiels, se connaître soi-même ?)

*Jour 1 :
Jeu de mots chronométré avec des mots prédécoupés
+ 2 minutes pour créer une phrase de 5 mots
+ 5 minutes pour créer une phrase de 15 mots
+ 10 minutes pour créer la phrase/l'histoire d'au moins 20 mots qui sera le final pour le projet

Coller dans les livres
+ Assurez-vous qu'il y a au moins quelques mots sur chaque page

Day 2 - 6:

Each day we will focus on filling out/ finishing 1 page until we get to the end of our book.

Three Objects, Many Outcomes @Hudson (in progress)

Thumbnail Sketches 

Using objects in different ways - different configurations of Composition, and to tell different parts of the same story. Playing out our options a few different times helps give us access to richer and more interesting versions of our initial idea. The ideas on the surface are usually the most obvious ones - let's get those out of the way first, so we can find something more compelling! 

Some examples:

3 objects: Apple, Sun, Crown

In each section, pick 2 of the three objects and create a sketch of those 2 things interacting somehow. You will have 5-7 minutes per section

Things an apple can be:

+ Apple Tree

+ Apple Pie

+ A character that keeps the doctor away

+ Apple Monster

Things a Sun can be:

+ Shining in the sky

+ Dancing with the Moon

+ Causing a Sunburn

+ Living in Space

+ Wearing Shades

Things a Crown can be:

+ Lost, Buried or Forgotten

+ Stolen by Bandits

+ On the head of an ancient King or Small Child

+ A Graffiti tag

Today's task:

1. Fold your paper into 4 sections

2. Pick 2 of the 3 objects provided and sketch a story/composition/scene in each box, changing the story/composition/scene + objects in each box.

Taking Creative Control: Photo Manipulation @Hudson

Inspiration:

How do you take a pre-existing image and make it your own?

What kind of flair can you bring to shift the mood/tone of the image you chose?

 Task:

1. Everyone will claim an image to manipulate from the front table, grab a sheet of cardstock and glue their image down

2. Using Acrylic markers, start to define what shapes you want to modify/simplify to create a new character or vibe - focus on the big shapes first, we will add detail later

3. Once you have your bigger shapes mapped out, start to explore what kinds of texture/pattern you want to fill each of those shapes with - feel free to grab your pattern play sheet to support you.

We will have 2 days to complete this mini project.

Pattern Play @HHSLT

 Day 1: Pattern Play

Step 1 - Fold your paper into 4 sections

You will have about 7 minutes per section to fill each

Section 1: Make a squiggle and build off of it

   

Section 2: Make simple/random shapes and build out around them

 

Section 3: Make Fire/Lightning/Star/Fire-Work shapes and build out around them

Section 4: Drips! Make sure you have multiple overlapping shapes

Day 2+3 - Putting it together

Step 1: Trace a bunch of overlapping shapes onto cardstock

Each tiny section will be filled with a different pattern - make sure that similar patterns are NOT touching each other! Vary the colors and styles from section to section to have a more visually arresting outcome.
