Homework, Notes 11/2/10

Your assignment this week is multi-part:

First, research your assigned Major Arcana tarot card. What does it mean? What are the symbols on it that create that meaning? What is its story? (Wikipedia is a great place to start looking)

1. Find or write a short story (1 paragraph to 1 page) based on the card's meaning. For instance the Chariot card is not about riding a chariot, it's about mastering opposing forces and bringing them to balance. So the story would relate to that idea.

2. Choose 5 symbols that could be used to tell that story visually. They could be abstract or universal (i.e. a heart, a flame) or specific to the particular story you found (i.e. a particular object). Find or create 10 different kinds of images that represent that symbol.

3. Write 20 words that could also be used to represent that card or its story.

Present the symbols, story and words printed out- there can be multiple items on a page.

PLEASE ALSO BRING YOUR LAPTOPS TO CLASS. We are going to use part of the class to work!
