One week project: Illustration
/The sixth of our semester one lateral thinking projects has just been completed be the first years. The brief took the definition of the word ‘illustrate’ [ORIGIN early 16th century (in the sense ‘illuminate, shed light on’): from Latin illustrat- ‘lit up’, from the verb illustrare, from in- ‘upon’ + lustrare ‘illuminate’] and use that idea to convey the meanings behind idioms and proverbs. Students could choose any idiom they wanted in order to think broadly around any potential solutions. There were no restrictions with regard to technique: image / photography / video / sound / performance were all encouraged, in order to best present the idiom in question.
