Assignment 26 - The Power of Abstraction to Express Emotion

Working in pairs, select an emotion.  Your assignment is to create one outstanding image that expresses that emotion.  Try to think abstractly - think about color, forms and shapes, the power of elements and principles.

Emotions are complex, yet we all know them when we see them - love, anger, despair, confusion...how can you show those without the typical cliche images of lovers holding hands, tears being wiped away, the usual imagery we all see on Hallmark cards?

Here is the list:

Love
Anger
Despair
Confusion
Tension
Frustration
Joy
Pity
Shame
Envy
Surprise
Disgust
Patience
Pride

Create the image and alter as you wish.  Using Photoshop, each of you add the word you've been given in a way that exemplifies that emotion in the final image.  Post on both of your blogs.

Due date:  February 6, end of class
