For your next assignment you are going to create an analogy for one or more of the following stories (audio) from NPR’s This American life:
18: Liars (11.01.2002) http://www.thislife.org/Radio_Episode.aspx?episode=18
143: Sentencing (10.22.1999) http://www.thislife.org/Radio_Episode.aspx?episode=143
Bring in at least five different sketches, on separate sheets of paper, not in your sketchbook, either Horz. or vertical (base it on 8 X 10) . Each of these audio episodes contains a few stories so either pick one story or the overall theme. Your finish will be in color.
I would like you to write notes. What is this story really about? Create a list of adjectives to describe characters and themes in the story. Some questions to ask yourself to get started:
- Try sketching using the 3 different types of analogies we talked about in class; logical analogy, affective analogy and a paradoxical analogy.
- If this story involved animals what kind of animals would they be?
- As a machine/object what kind would it be? A fairy tale /fable?
- Look at something totally unrelated and force yourself to have it conform to your story like the xerox sheets we did in class.
