WAVI: Concept Brainstorm

"Innocent Eye Test" by Mark Tansey
Choosing a concept for your semester-long Concept-folio can be challenging. Let's use this post to declare "working concepts", or initial ideas. Post your possible concepts and offer an explanation for your focus. After you post your concept and offer an explanation, be sure to view your classmates' concepts. Offer commendations or criticism and don't be shy. After all, wouldn't you rather reformulate your concept now as opposed to in April? And remember- your concept should transcend disciplines.

The bottom line is: choose a concept that interests YOU. If you do, you won't even notice that you are working; if you don't, it will be a long semester.

Tori D. said...

Tori D - Hey, my three concepts I was considering were life/death, nature, or fantasy/reality. I'm leaning towards more of the latter but opinions would be great! Thanks.

Concept- Rose Colored Glasses: The Influences of Love and Passion

I would focus upon the different sides of love from fluffy, childhood crushes to life long passionate soulmates. I will also focus upon the more stark sides of the emotion such a relationships that have turned toxic.

Vicky Miller i think your concept of rose colored glasses could be amazing, also its interesting because its not something one would typically think of doing.

Tori, Again

Vicky- a really unique idea, seems like you could probably do a lot with it
Isabella - I like the idea of peace of happiness
Victoria R- I'd go for confusion, it just seems really unique but also really accessible
Merri- Innocence, definatly, though it might be a bit of a challenge
Sean- space might be a bit tricky, but maybe if you paired it with depth and kept it vauge? But all are really unique concepts
Jake- All are really great concepts and anyone of them would work

*Note, anyone considering sports, it seems kind of too specific and I wouldn't recomend it. It just seems a bit too risky
