Imagery Evaluation (week 3)

In this class session, we had to choose and bring 10 different images to class for evaluation. I first didn't understand what we were going to do with them but it soon became clear by the end of class. We first broke up into groups and choose the simplest image from the group. Then we had to come up with 10 different words that will describe that image's opposite value. I found this to be rather difficult. Each work could not relate to one another, they must have a different value and meaning from one another. We ended up picking my image which was a converse ad with a band performing in a factory type of environment. The words which we came up with were; peaceful, quiet, empty, clear, boring, motionless, anti-social, conservative, legal, and safe. This exercise, from what I go out of it, was to understand the image in more than one way by giving the image a different meaning but can still relate to its value. The second exercise was to evaluate a different image but instead to come up with 10 words/slogans or phrases to advertise the image. We first had to change groups then pick the best image of our selection. This time someone else's was chosen. His was a picture of a tree like hand, which to me was pretty amusing. I found this one to be much more easier than the last exercise because of its amusement. Our words/slogans were more amusing than realistic. This exercise was for us to understand the visual value this image possessed and how it can be expressed through words and ideas. Now for our homework we must individually choose one image that attracts us and give it our own 10 word interpretation. This seems rather fun.
