Mini Book Structure: Alphabet By Jaune Quick

Decent Essays
Project #1: Mini Book Structure I was inspired to model my book after the artwork Alphabet by Jaune Quick. I had also done a model of her work in my sketchbook. To begin this project, I analyzed the original piece to see which figure stuck out the most. I decided that I would highlight these significant images in the picture by making them bigger and outlining them in red. The front page modeled the colors Quick used in her artwork along with the outer rims of the piece. The next page highlights the boot the is in her piece. Around it are some distorted letters, and arrow, and a house. I outlined those piece in white like they are in the original art piece. The second page highlights the crescent moon. Around it is a distorted horse, moose,

    Looking around, there are tons upon tons of items, people, and words that get ignored. Reason being? The explanation is simple, it is because people pay absolutely no attention to their surroundings. No one stops to value, and truly think about the everyday conversations, the people met while walking down the street, and even books, which continuously are being left unopened. With that being said, they all just get kind of brushed off.…

    In Karen Jackson Ford’s “Do Right to Write Right: Langston Hughes's Aesthetics of Simplicity” Hughes and his works are carefully analyzed and the simplistic aspects of his works are discussed. Ford begins the article by stating that Hughes’ most anthologized poems were classified together because of their complexity. Some of Hughes’ most commonly anthologized works include “The Negro Speaks of Rivers” and “The Weary Blues.” Although it was deemed simple by critics, “The Negro Speaks of Rivers” is oracular.…

    Motivation is a complex construct, but in it’s simplest form motivation can be broken into two main components: intrinsic and extrinsic. When a person is intrinsically motivated to do something, the desire emanates from within. Extrinsic motivation, on the other hand, involves completing a task for an external reason. By encouraging children through rewards, their intrinsic motivation is destroyed. When the focus of an activity becomes gaining a reward, intrinsic motivation is reduced.…

    As I began flipping through the pages of The Arrival I noticed it was a wordless picturebook and purely relies on the images to tell the story. My initial reaction was the use of color the author chose. As you open the book up to the first page you notice nine individual frames of possessions that you would see in a home along with a family picture and if you turn to the next page a bigger image is shown on the right of the mom and dad. For example, we are never told directly the status of the family or as to why the dad is packing. If you look at the nine frames in Part One, you notice the objects in the frames are portrayed in the background and foreground of the bigger picture on the following page.…

    Picture books have been around for a long time. They have been read by many generations as a source of pleasure reading and to tap into their imagination. In these books, the writers and illustrator include various language, narrative and visual conventions to appeal to the reader and make them read with a deeper analytical eye to find the intended meaning. While some picture books are simple and the meaning is straightforward others are more complex and metaphorical. An example of such a picture book is Gary Crew and Steven Woolman’s…

    “Three Little Words” is a memoir that shares the story of a girl named Ashley Rhodes-Courter, who spent 10 years in the foster care system. Ashley and her younger brother, Luke, were removed from their birth mother, Lorraine, when Ashley was only 3 years old. She was placed in 14 different homes before she had a permanent address. There was a lot that could be absorbed from Ashley’s story, but one thing that stood out to me is how heavily childhood experiences impacted the lives of many characters in this book. In the late 1960s, John Bowlby proposed his theory of attachment.…

    Through the words and pictures in this book, A Bad Case of Stripes, by David Shannon, children are being taught to be themselves. The patterns and images that show up on her skin do not represent what she is feeling on the inside, but instead, she is changing based on what other people are telling her she should be. The illustrations and text of this book interact in order to fill in the gaps for the reader. The pictures enhance what is being said in the book. If you only look at either the words or pictures you would not be able to fully understand the story.…

    1984 Book Cover Analysis

    What intrigued most about 1984 is the symbolism it held. This is why I wanted to recreate a book cover that held a great amount of symbolism and a visual art piece that channels the many themes explored within the text. When writing 1984, I believe George Orwell’s style of writing and point in conveying actions were quite distinctive. His syntax gave off a tone of hopelessness and warning. A slow and fearful journey we follow Winston through that book…
