Deconstructing Characters :BLOG ASSIGNMENT #1

STEP ONE

Create a character. But don’t show us or tell us about the actual physical attributes of this character. Instead, deconstruct this character to its BASIC ELEMENTS of

• Color

• Light

• Shape

 Then, using these basic elements, post photographs that demonstrate these elements as they relate to your character, and write a 100 word summary of each photo and why it represents your character.

     For instance, if you were deconstructing Superman, you might choose to discuss:

  His Red, White and Blue color motif

 

 

  Cast him in bright lights of “goodness”

 

 

The fact that his cape makes him look triangular like a speeding bullet

 

STEP TWO

Do the same thing with your character’s antagonist.
