Riddle: Space Odyssey

Go some place you have never been. It can be big or small. It cannot be a place that sells anything. Do not choose somewhere neutral. Visit it 5 times; visit under different conditions each time. Photograph it and take notes each time. Make a piece based on this place.

-Brainstorm materials/objects/imagery that pertain to the theme of this project. Determine a topic upon which you’d like to focus. In choosing your topic, remember to challenge yourself; find a subject that is new to you.

-Collect/generate at least 8-10 objects or images. You must take your own pictures if using source imagery (though you may borrow in part if it’s necessary for your concept. (See me in that case.)

-Create 8+ thumbnails to arrive at the strongest possible concept and composition. (Each thumbnail should be no smaller than a baseball card.) Consider the full picture plane, including your background.

-Choose the surface, dimensions and material for your project.
