Week 4
This week we will be looking at representation through images. In the media especially within photography and visual imagery words don't need to be used to convey a meaning or a message. For example
A photo of a Closed Fist - Could represent Power
A photo of hands being held could represent unity
You need to choose either 5 of the below words and find photos that could represent those words. There is too be no text in the photos. Try to be creative and not be so obvious... For example if you were doing LOVE.. don't just find a photo of a couple in love that's too obvious.
I'd love to print some of the photos and stick them up in the room...
Mel
