Week 5- The Image of the Image ii

Create a visual response to the song Claire de Lune, by Claude Debussy.

This exercise furthers our previous attempts create a visual image that conveys an experience, only in that, in this case, we are departing not from a literal, but from a sound one

Notes:

  • Consider the polarity information//artistic images we discussed in class.
  • You can use any found imagery.
  • In departing from a sound, the intention is to invite the use of abstract elements such as color, shapes, motion, rhythm, textures, etc to invoke a feeling.
  • You may also incorporate -or not- the original song and/or any other sound

    1. The image link seems to be broken and I cannot fix it right now because newhive doesn’t seem to be loading my image.

      I will try again to post the link in the morning.

  5. Here’s my work: http://newhive.com/iris91/moon-in-water

    When I hear Claire de Lune I feel the moonlight, the silent street, the trees, the quiteness and everything that should be here in a beautiful night. However, I also feel some kind of dangerous and unsureness, that feeling lays under the moonlight and seank into my mind: the moonlight is so beautiful that could draw people into darkness. I try to depict my feeling through this picture: Moon in Water is a phrase that describes something that is beautiful but unreal and untouchable; it is beautiful, just like a dream.
