assignment #3: document your average day

January 19, 2007

These self-assignments are doing good things for my creativity I think. They are helping my mind wake up a little (stretch and yawwwwn!) and look at things with a little different perspective. It’s refreshing! So onto assignment #3.

ASSIGNMENT #3

OBJECTIVE: to loosen up creatively. to be more mindful. to play.

MATERIALS: Digital camera. Printer. Photo album.

PLAN: Document your average day with snapshots… from waking up first thing in the morning with sleepy sand in your eyes and hair like a bird’s nest (I recommend leaving the camera on your night stand the night before) to the time you go back to sleep at night. You can be as creative as you want to be with this: First person view? Third person view? How many shots do you want to show? Any interesting angles? It’s up to you…

Then print them out and put them into a photo album labeled with the title of your project and the day it was conducted. (I think it will be neat to look back on it in a year or two and see how your average day has changed.)

Post the pics on your blog.

I think this one will be fun!

Have a good weekend, friends. :)

    I tried a couple of these last week (not yours) but ways to pick back up the so
    called artist block. I started with different lines, then background shades and
    forground color. It works…I’ve got some nice lay out work for some up-coming
    pieces. Thanks for the inspiration and help.
