Assignment 2: word and Image
















On Tuesday January 30, 2007 our class attended the art show “Super Visions” at the ICA. It was very interesting to say the least. The artwork was very unique, the likes of which I had never seen before.

One of the questions we were to answer is: “Which artist chose mythological or “superhuman vision” themes to tell a story or communicate a message?

I chose the artist Jeff Koons’ piece “Rabbit” which was created in 1986. I believe Koon chose Mythology as a theme for his piece because a rabbit is quite simply “identifiable and readable by a wide audience.

We also had to create 5 concept sketches in relation to Mythology. To be blunt, I think my sketches are horrible and do not capture the theme of Mythology… but I tried.

Think of this last assignment as a warm-up for the bigger one to come (visual book). Your challenge will be creating/sketching the structure of the book and showing how your images and the theme relate to the book.
