Digital Sketchbook Entry

Today we brainstormed themes and voted on them. "Colors" won, but it was too broad, so we narrowed it to "blue."
The first thing that came to me was City by Ed Ruscha.

We wandered as a group over to it on the second floor for contemporary art.We thought it reminded us of the ocean, since we associate blue with the ocean. We also thought it was 'calm' and 'clear' and the fact that Chicago as a city is next to Lake Michigan is a possible reason for why it was titled 'City'.
We also took blue candy from a colorful pile and went to the very very blue Chagall Window. We were working on a physical collage all the while. Many notes were written on post-its.

We viewed examples of previous student Digital Collages, and my favorite one was the 'Rouge' one. It incorporated live interviews and many images, and text. The music was lovely too. I guess I'll have to learn iMovie and Garageband.

So far my going theme is Memory, which I associate with childhood memories, which has nostalgia, as well as looking into memories in the past as an escape. Certain memories are also tied to objects. Certain memories remind us of experiences.
