Create a flyer/poster advertising our unconventional online installation that could be shared with someone, such as a family member, friends, or a community member like your local bodega or leaving it in your building lobby. The installation title is: “If someone were to step into your soul…”
Use the chalk to create a shape that people can step into and listen/see/smell/taste/feel their surroundings.
week 3 prompt 1 Explore your neighborhood and find a local work of art. This could be street art, a mural, architecture, or a performer you see on a walk. Create a visual abstraction (=something not realistic) inspired by the piece. Take a photo of your abstraction to submit.
Temporarily install either your visual artwork or your soundscape near the local work of art you found. You can do this either in person OR at home
Inspired by Juliana Huxtable, “Speak your truth!” Brainstorm at least 10 words that you identify with. These could be specific alignments such as queerness, being a person of color, your culture, your values; or they could be more abstract words that represent your mood, hopes, dreams, or past. Write these words in your sketchbook in lettering styles, fonts, and colors that represent the feeling of the word to you.
Create a poster or zine speaking your truth. Choose one, two, or three of the words you brainstormed and expand on it in a zine or poster. Your poster could be sketches, drawings, all text, or even a collage.
