Ciao! In class this week, I worked with two ideas from the gathering assignment. The first was based on two ducks I saw sitting under a bridge, submerging their heads in the rushing water of the river. I stood and watched them duck their heads under the water for quite some time and the image really stuck with me. In my word web I dealt with the idea of being submerged in a culture and thought a lot about what it means to be here, emersed in a new culture.
My second word web explored a fountain I have passed by a few times on Via Nationale. I was really intrigued by the fountain and was curious about its placement in middle of a busy street where I wouldn't expect to find a monument. I found that this word web accidentially overlapped with some of the ideas I explored in my investigation of the ducks.
The photographs of my webs and ink drawings are posted on my flickr site. I really enjoyed these excercises because I realized its a great way to figure out how an idea can become a work of art and I'm excited I have this as a tool now. I also uploaded photographs of the fountain as well as an image from Bologna that is similar to the pictures that I uploaded last week. I really liked the way the shadow from one building was cast on the other building.
