Creating a Story
Im trying to learn for my Art & Design class and Im stuck. Can you help?
Narration is also an art form! By using your imagination and drawing upon your participative experiences with various art forms, you begin to understand that your interpretation of a work of art is a work of art, itself. Narration is an articulation of the stories about and within varied art forms. Your narration will tell a story about what you see in the work of art. By doing this, you are developing and fine tuning your own awareness of art and your own sensitivity to the metaphorical and symbolic representations found within a work of art.
In this Assignment, you compose a narrative interpretation of an assigned work of art.
By Day 1
To prepare:
