2 tasks for brainstorming your lyrics

Over the coming weeks, you will be embarking on a Song Book Illustration Project. You will be researching existing book layout, developing your own illustration ideas, experimenting with different processes and techniques and finally presenting a finished book. Your book will be at least 8 pages long.

The subject of your book will be illustrations of a song lyric - using the whole or part of a song.

Objective

To use the lyrics get as many visual ideas as possible.

To understand that early planning is best done using a pencil.  It's much faster and sparks the brain 10x faster than a word processor.

Task 1
Choose a suitable song, (believe me, it takes longer than you think) If you are struggling to find a whole song, choose 6 or more different ones that you find interesting - and could work well visually.

You don't have to understand what the lyrics are referring to, they could be very vague - the most important thing is that they are creating images in your head. Your job is to be 'poetic'.

Task 2

Take your lyrics (12pt, left align on an A4 page) and print off.

Using a pen or pencil, go through the words and associate any image you can–however obvious. 
Go for beautiful poetic interpretation.

Presentation

Photograph them and post them to your blog. 
Post name–Brainstorming lyrics.

To get a the best mark you can, ensure that your pages are busy and full.
