Instruction
Create visualizations of specifically chosen sensory experiences.
Purpose
Experiment with how to visualize something that isn’t typically visual. Convey sound, scent, touch, and emotion through sight. As for sight, investigate how the overall sight can be abstracted and not simply represented.
My Interpretation
I explored a variety of sights, sounds, scents, feelings, and emotions. I explored emotions the most, focusing on the bittersweet/empty feeling you get in the realization that this giant show you’ve just worked on, this beautiful amalgamation of set and cooperation, and all these people you just met are going away. I tried to show that through various forms of scribbles, sharpish shapes, negative space, and declining use of line in direction, weight, and density. For senses relating to the house/audience, I struggled with abstraction vs. representation, sometimes coming too close to a literal representation of a crowd of people rather than an abstract version of the same thing. This same problem also slightly carried over to scent, but not nearly as much. I feel I created a good starting point to work off of.
