This two-part assignment is essentially an exercise in
1) Illustrating Clarice Lispector's story with a single image (upload as PDF, JPEG, or Docx);
2) Writing a short text (two or three paragraphs, 300 words approximately) explaining how exactly your visual depiction connects to the story. What decisions did you make? Why? Proofread this document carefully. Upload as a docx file.
It might seem like the second part, the writing, is in fact secondary. This is not true. Both parts will be equally weighted.
Below is an illustration of "Amor" by an anonymous artist. Under the illustration is the passage in the story that the artist chose to illustrate.
It might be helpful to think of your illustration as a book cover. If you choose this option, feel free to include the author's correctly-spelled name and the title of the story: either the original Portuguese "Amor" or the English translation, "Love." You could also think about combining keywords, sentences, or short passages from the story as part of your image. You have a lot of choices.
Remember that your illustration doesn't have to be a realistic or cartoon-like drawing. It could be an abstraction, a photograph, a collage of appropriated magazine images, a typographical "visual poem," or the many other visual forms I'm forgetting right now. Get creative! You're in art college!
I really want high-quality results, so we're extending the final due date until Tuesday, October 12.
Upload both the draft (parts 1 and 2) and the final (parts 1 and 2) on Populi. Let me know if you have questions or difficulties with the upload.
