Small Work: Group Narrative Panel

Create three paratactic sentences using this structure:

·                I believe in "_____________".

·                I "verb" + "subject".

·                The "noun" + (verb) "adjective".

I believe in nothing 

The fan ran up the stairs

I adore you

These are the sentence we chose during the picking. We were lined up in three lines to receive a paper that we would later crate a narrative for using the text given.

You were then put into a group of 3 - 4 people, each of whom had a sentence.  You were asked to order your paratactic poem, and were then given an in-class assignment:

1) Each person must make a list of 5 mood words relating to their sentence.
Mood:
- Refreshed
-Tired
-Relaxed
-Sleepy
-Energetic

2) Each person must make a list of 5 material qualities relating to their sentence.
Material qualities:
-Electrical wires
-WD40
-Wood
-Plastic
Running Shoes

3) Renegotiate your poem based on the mood words and material qualities.

4) The group must decide the narrative/content/story, and storyboard 3 different possibilities.  Each storyboard has three thumbnails, one for each sentence, for a total of 9 thumbnails in total.

This exercise will culminate in a comic/narrative.  Each group member is responsible for one 8.5" x 11" panel (2D--this size requirement is strict), which should have a correlating thumbnail in your chosen storyboard.  The three/four panels together will be a complete comic/narrative.
5) After, the groups will have the work to present to the class, student will chose which narrative group's artwork they liked (vote). 

Narrative:

The narrative is about an artist who is at the peak of their career, successful and their artwork is 

When the artist least expects it, they have an accident leading to being hospitalized in a coma for a period of time. During the time the artist is in the coma, he has a dream about being the art studio creating artwork about nothingness (existential state of mind, emotions/feelings).Within the dream  the artist thinks to himself that everything around him is nothingness(nothingness). When the artist awakes from the coma, he first sees an oscillating fan and a loved one by his bedside. realizes that this loved one has been looking after and caring for him the whole time (adoration). The fan plays the role in appearing in every scene of the narrative as an ever-present passing wind through.
