You have a sketchbook assignment for next wednesday -- or rather, two short sketchbook assignments. They are both exercises in thinking in images. They are:
1. I want you to draw a sketch of a memorable image. This could be an image from a film, a poster, a painting, a TV show, a book (in which case you'll have seen the image in your mind's eye, not in "reality") -- some vision that sticks in your brain. And then, also in the sketchbook, write a short paragraph about the image -- where you saw it, what it means -- and why you think that image is memorable.
2. Make a sketch of something memorable that actually happened to you -- in particular, something you saw or experienced that was intensely scary. It could be from a movie that you saw as a kid; it could be something that actually happened to you and really spooked you -- just make sure it's something that left an impression on you. As with the other sketchbook exercise, write a short paragraph about the scary event, and explain what made it so scary.
For a screening in class -- here's an example of using 3D CG imagery to make a semi-abstract animation, illustrating a piece of music:
