For your third Photo Challenge you will work in groups of 2-3 students and come up with a plan and design for using black light makeup crayons and/or other clothing or makeup items that work with black lights. This will most likely be a close up of the face or a portion of the face/body, etc. Here are some examples.
The Metamorphic Moment theme that encourages students to explore the process and meaning of transformation through time, myth and literature.
Metamorphosis is a change of the form or nature of a thing or person into a completely different one, by natural or supernatural means. Within sects or amphibians, metamorphosis is the process of transformation from an immature form to an adult form in two or more distinct stages. It is best embodied in the change of the caterpillar to the butterfly. Metamorphosis also relates to the age-old experience of looking at clouds and recognizing familiar images, like seeing a face transition into a bird. The concept is also woven into our culture. In Greek mythology, metamorphosis explains Zeus transformation into a swan to visit Leda, or Daphne turning into a laurel tree to escape advances. In X-Men, Mystique is a shapeshifter who can morph into another shape or state at will. Western culture is bound by both the delight and terror of metamorphosis. In some situations, it is seen as a punishment, while in other contexts, it is seen as a superpower. In the visual arts, metamorphosis is often the domain of the Surrealism. Dalí was celebrated for his ability to see the world differently, recognizing how to see something transform into something completely different by simply ing his refined techniques to capture that vision for others to see. His painting Old Age, Adolescence and Infancy demonstrates an individual s metamorphosis through time, while his Persistence of Memory uses the symbol of a melting clock to represent the fluid nature of change. The Metamorphic Moment invites students to reflect on the idea of metamorphosis and create their own visual interpretation of metamorphic moment. See examples from the 2020 Art Show HERE!
