Visual Assignments

ReCaptcha Illustrated

Include a screenshot of a word pair from a reCapctha (http://www.google.com/recaptcha or heck right at the bottom of this assignment submission form http://assignments.ds106.us/submit-an-assignment/) in an illustration or visual mashup that shows what the words might mean. Use your imagination to create something meaningful out of the random words.

When you write it up, provide some narrative that puts the image in context.

Picturing Prufrock

Choose an image from T.S. Eliot’s beautiful poem “The Lovesong of J. Alfred Prufrock” and illustrate it through art, audio, video, or any other creative medium.

Paint a picture, put the words to music, make a mashup, photograph a scene, write a short story, bake a Prufrock cake… anything!

Oh, do not ask, “What is it?”
Let us go and make our visit.
