Classroom exercise: Happening: Visual Story


I found this to be a rather tough exercise. We needed to go out of the classroom and observe our surroundings for the ideal observational frame and sketch it out. The single frame needed to convey a story of sorts...
I went out and found myself at the infamous dungeon- the smoking corner of Arts. It was there that I conceptualised my sketch. My sketch is supposed to capture irony, rebellion. I thought I did a pretty good job for a half hour sketch. But alas, I got it wrong!
What Mr Reddy wanted was something else. Yes, my picture showed irony.. but I drew what I thought not what I saw. This picture's framing was a result of my imagination not my observation. I understood after Mr Reddy explained it to me.
