Conversations with pictures - Interpretation
For this task I had to review and select images from my sketchbooks and interpret them by the following ways:
The first part of the exercise was to add in dialogue in one of my chosen sketches to suggest what these characters might be thinking. I redrafted one of my ideas so that the whole drawings were complete with the dialogue. Below is the original sketch and the redrafted sketch. I enjoyed the result and the message contained, I see it as a critique to society who’s generally addicted to their phones and texting and the sky with a cartoony look and warm colours behind them simbolises that they’re missing out a beautiful world, putting it on simple terms.

The second part of the task was write a letter, it could be either from one of my characters or from one of the places I have visited. I chose one of the sketches from part I , where I redrafted a coffee cup which was part of a bigger sketch with more elements contained in it. I wrote it as if I was at a cafe writing to someone I met but lost that connection because of moving abroad, and consequently I miss that person.
The choice of letter was as if I picked a napkin from the café and wrote a letter in it, I could have perhaps creased the paper to give that napkin texture but I was afraid to ruin the work. Furthermore, the addition of the spilled coffee was to suggest the instability of the theme of the letter, to serve as a complement.
