Class 04 (2020) – Visual Arts Practice II (VART1006)

Each member in your group will write down 5 recent events randomly.
Try not think too much about each sentence.
Each event is a sentence that comes with a structure (subject + verb + adjective/adverb + object), preferably, the verb is related to action.
Example of such sentence is: Bryan eats a lot of bananas or Peter wears a trendy mask.
Compile a list of all the events in a shared Google document of your group.

Swap the subject, verb, adjective/adverb, object among all the sentences and come up with a new list.
For example, after swapping of the two sentences, they can be: Bryan eats a lot of masks and Peter wears trendy bananas.
Discuss among your team members to choose 3 to 4 emotional types from last week. You can also refer to the Wheel of Emotions (reference below) to make your choices.
Categorize all your sentences (around 30) to each of the emotional type that makes sense to you.
Assign a color for each emotional type and color code the sentences according to what you marked in step 4.
Keep the list in a shared Google document of your group.

Part 3 (consolidation – 15 minutes)

Arrange the 3 to 4 emotions in linear order (time) to create the dramatic arc (reference below).
Pick a sentence from each emotional type and arrange them according to the dramatic arc order.
Try to make sense out of them. If not, you can swap with other sentences in the same emotional type.
You can also make up some places and consolidate the characters in order to make more sense of your new story.
Summarize your story in a shared Google document of your group.

Part 4 (visualization – take home)

Create 4 sketches corresponding to the dramatic arc, with your chosen visual style and reference and show us next week (19 March) in the shared Google drive folder.
