image and text learning objectives

1. Investigate the nature of perceiving text. What is experienced/ What is thought. Gain awareness of varied modes of text perception (mostly poetic) - ear sounds - mouth movements - mind variations (rhymes, conflations, ....)

2. Investigation of the nature of perceiving images. What is experienced/ What is thought. Gain awareness of varied effects in image perception. How open or how closed are image meanings. How can multiple meanings be managed.

3. Awareness of the separateness of modes of perception with text and images.

4. Use of text and image in combination, with conceptual emphasis of the piece being in combination.

5. Awareness and control of layering. See that when one layer (text) blocks another layer (image), that the image is not percieved as being diminished but is perceived as whole. Use of this device in the piece. Type size to be large over image.

6. Awareness and control of varied type fonts. Fonts are content. Appropriate control of this in piece.

7. Basic use of photoshop for image and text.

8. Control of image quality for printed output. Pieces are maximized size on 8.5 x 11 paper. Finding or making an image of appropriate resolution for printing (100-200 pixels/inch) and using it appropriately.

9. Creative process working in multiple quick solutions, often working laterally creating many variations, working in negation or opposites, use of random combinations.

10. Strategy for generating meaning not through direct communication, but through the creation of a piece with parts that create a dynamic and composed interaction for the viewer. Clear in conceptual and formal ways to be accessible and maintain the attention of the viewer. Dynamic and curious enough to engage the viewer over time and optimally to create deeper thoughts and questions.
