  1. Parody

  2. Parody • Ridicule, mimic, mock, burlesque or caricature. Make fun of your subject, “ROAST” it, lampoon it. Transform it into a visual joke or pun. Exploit the humor factor. Make zany, ludicrous or comic references. Create a visual oxymoron or conundrum. • The subline and the ridiculous are often so nearly related, that it is difficult to classify them separately. One step above the sublime, makes the ridiculous; and one step above the ridiculous, makes the subline again. – Tom Paine

  3. Fantasize, Prevaricate, Parody, Symbolize, Substitute, Analogize, Combine, Transfer

  4. VISUAL PUNS • Visual Puns http://digitalpersuasion.cti.dtu.dk/VR-visualpun.html • The following definitions are copied from a web site – original URL has been lost. They are shown here for study. • Visual Puns: Visual pun is the use of symbols to suggest two or more meanings or different associations. Visual puns combine two or more symbols (picture and/or text) to form a new meaning. The viewer must mentally elaborate on the visual stimulus to interpret the message – • Visual Puns: Creating an artwork in which several visual forms which look alike (thinking by appearance in the right hemisphere) are connected and combined so as to bring out two or more possible meaningful ideas in a humorous way. Because of the obviously separate nature of the two forms being humorously combined, visual puns are a lower form of visual metaphor.

  5. Visual Satire: Art forms that use bisociation in an intentional way to make visual "look alike" comparisons between unlike objects to make meaningful exposures of vices, follies, stupidity, abuses, or hidden character. A more sophisticated form of bisociation than visual puns, works of visual satire imply that serious purpose is intended, even when it is communicated in a humorous way. Caricature is a form of visual satire. • Bisociation: The mixture in one human mind of visual physiognomies from two contexts or categories of objects that are normally considered separate categories by the literal processes of the mind. The thinking process that is the functional basis for metaphoric thinking. This is a term coined by the author Arthur Koestler in his book "The Act of Creation." Koestler invented this term to distinguish the type of analogical thinking that leads to the acts of great creativity from the more pedestrian associative (purely logical) thinking, with which we are so familiar in our everyday lives. • Visual Merging: Term coined by NAB to specify a level of bisociation where the separate objects with their associated physiognomic qualities are being merged toward the level of hidden metaphoric expressions (disguised symbolism). The objects at the visual merging level are, however, still identifiable as separate objects being referred to visually. • Suggestions from Getty TeacherArtExchange List Members • Fun with Wordshttp://www.fun-with-words.com/ (warning site has pop-up ads)

  6. In American Artist (1993) there was a great article on visual puns by ScottMoore – A Getty ArtsEdNet Talk list member used to do a surrealism/collage lesson with middle school students based on this article.Children's books to look at are by Fred Gwynne (HermanMunster) - The King Who Rained, Chocolate Moose for Dinner, A Little Pigeon Toad -Check with your language arts teacher for lists of idioms, metaphors, compound words -Design Synectics has a list on page 19... - Watch Dog -       Fan Club -       Second Hand Store -       Water Closet -       Strong Box -       Photo Bug -       Bookworm -       Loud Tie -       Toothpick -       Gatorade -       Handcuffs -       Horse radish -       Fireman -       Wisdom Tooth -       Mail Man -       Boxing Match -       Book Worm -       Butterfly -       Moth Ball -       Garden Hose -       Horse Fly -       Eye Ball -       Handball -       Football Another artist translated the word "dog"-- a sculpture made from watches called"watch dog""hot dog", "dog gone", "dog days of summer" One of the paintings is titled "Star Gazing" - he started with the word star, wrote down related phrases (shooting star, starry eyed etc...) until he thought of star gazing - changed it to star 'grazing' and the scene is a herd of cows among a star cookie cutter, rolling pin and a sky with the stars cut out like cookie dough - the cows are star grazing - several good examples -Roukes book - Humor in Art has wonderful examples - and an algorithmor formula for designing puns -From Sharon Kennedy: Some of my students are working on projects inspired by the book From Ordinary to Extraordinary by Ken Vieth. One created a drawing that's a visual pun, though neither she nor I realized it until after she'd completed it.
