EXPRESS:DESIGN::TELL:STORY

STORY: We started out the semester with fairytales which is known to be another version of a story.  We also learned that throughout history, different types of architecture tell different types of stories.

Multiview: I chose to draw a butterfly for multiview because if you think about it a butterfly can get a view from anywhere whether on top of a blade of grass or high up in the sky. This reminded me of the multiple views that are shown in the movie A Midsummer Night's Dream.

TRANSLATION: This is the quilt that i created for my fairytale. I saw this as my own interpretation or traslation for the different parts and characters in the story. This is because each square represents a different character and they are all wove together by one theme or one element, copper wire.

ARTIFACT: In the film A Midsummer Night's Dream, the flower was an artifact of love; playing with love when you are or aren't supposed to.  The flower stood as a symbol for many things such as love in the movie just as a certain detail on a peice of architecture such as a cathedral symbolizes a certain period or style.
