For this task, you will be creating a comic strip using the characters and symbols commonly found in mathematics and english. You should design different characters based on some of the following symbols: Start by choosing eight different characters i.e. four from the Maths symbols and four from the English punctuation marks. Divide an A4 page into eight boxes by folding three times and design a character for each box. Write down the characteristics of the character i.e. Angry, aggressive, calm, boring, excitable, intellectual, sporty, etc. Now you should tell a six box comic strip story about some of your characters. For example, what happend when the division sign bumped into the exclamation mark? Look at some of the Mister Men series to get simple story lines/narratives or choose a story about: love, friendship, bullying, optimism, fear, embarrassment, etc. Here are some simple comic strip ideas:
Minimalism was an art movement that reduced the world into a series of simple shapes and forms that were often presented in galleries as isolated objects or paintings. Below are some examples by the artist Donald Judd: Photographers were also influenced by minimalism and attempted to create simple compositions made up of geometric shapes. Below are some examples by the photographer Lewis Baltz: Task:
Using Lewis Baltz as an influence, create a series of ten photographs. Consider the following: - takr simple compositions involving no more that 3-4 basic shapes I.e squares, rectangles, triangles and circles - do not photograph angles I.e always shoot (photograph) looking straight at the subject, not from an angle - try to zoom in slightly so that straight edges are vertical and not curved. |
