Assignment
Action:
1.
Choose one of the Maya Angelou poems to explore visual metaphor
- Write a brief statement that describes why you chose the poem and any ideas that come to mind--list these in your written statement to help you identify visual choices - its just a written check list
- note that sometimes these are based on “gut reactions” rather than an obvious relationship
- note that sometimes these are based on “gut reactions” rather than an obvious relationship
- Using the 5 senses, determine if there are any that resonate with the poem you choose?
- The perceptual process enables us to perceive the world through our senses of sight, smell, sound, taste and touch. In particular, our visual system processes vast amounts of information in its environment. Rather than perceiving elements separately, our brain organizes patterns, objects and shapes into whole forms that we can understand.
- Add these senses to your check list

- These (senses, images, color, etc.) do not need to be literal, but more evocative
2.
Create a Mood Board collage that responds to the poem you chose
- This can be either manual or digital or both--
- It should be on one page 8x14 legal size - horizontal or vertical format OR a size that works for your format (see optional formats below)
- Remember that the visual relationship between the images (proximity, scale) i.e. the way you organize them, is also an important part of the collage
- The principle of proximity is simply the process of ensuring related design elements are placed together. Any unrelated items should be spaced apart. Close proximity indicates that items are connected or have a relationship to each other and become one visual unit which helps to organise or give structure to a layout.
