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
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.
