  2. Brainstorm Continued • From the previous two lists, combine two words to make a mini phrase. • Ex. Nice Boundary • Ex. Rural Baseball • Huh?…say what? Well…it’s a start…

  3. Add to your list…or just brainstorm themes. • Minnesota Twins – sports teams…no logos though. • Landscape • Downtown street life • Music culture • Habitat or wildlife

  14. MG Marching Band anyone?

  15. Minnesota Attacked by Mosquitos?

  16. Anytime USA…or Minnesota

  17. Anyone live by a MN watertower?

  18. Any hunters out there? Huge MN past-time and piece of culture.

  19. Yes…Even this could represent MN. But how?

  20. You could even paint a parody How could you combine these two pictures to represent a parody about MN? A parody is when you use a previous artists work and change aspects of it to give the visual new meaning in a humorous way. Rene Magritte

  21. So where do you go from here? • Sketchbook Plan • Manders needs to see a plan with thumbnail sketches of compositional layouts. (pssst….hey you…yeah, over here..……an openly cropped composition will always look more dynamic than that of a closed composition, so consider running your objects in the picture off the edge of the picture plane). • Reference Image documentation • You should have reference images documented in your sketchbook as well.
