Mertens Madelyn Metaphor



==Find images by 3 of the artists from the Visual Metaphor Resource Page who Inspired you and explain why. The images can't be the same ones that I put on the page. == The artist I am inspired by is Jerry Uelsmann. His pictures are very symbolic and always have the viewers questioning what was the message. In each of his images, you can find multiple themes or metaphors. I want people to look at my visual metaphor and find a handful of metaphors. I will also inflict emotions which are displayed in Jerry's artworks.

==Post the lyrics to the song or lines of the poem or book you will be using. == "I am an eagle" by R Kelly in his song "World's Greatest".

==Explain why you chose the lyrics/poem/book lines you did. == I have loved this song since I was a young girl. When I was looking for a lyric to use for this project, I remember all the metaphors in R Kelly's song "World's Greatest", and I knew I had to do it.

==Who is the poem/song/book written by? Write this down. == R Kelly

==What visual metaphor does the song/poem/book quote evoke? == "I am an eagle" evokes the emotion of pride because when I think of eagles, I think of the United States' national animal and how our soldier fight under the flag of the "eagle".

==What other interpretations might someone have for this song/poem/book quote? == Other people may connect the eagle to a school's mascot or they may think of a person who has eagle-like wings.

==How will this quote and research influence your project? Explain... including the metaphor you hope to portray. == From what I learn from Mr. Uelsmann, I am going to either use items or people to express emotions, through the face and body, and positioning. I hope the way I use people or items make "I am an eagle" give viewers a sense of pride and see the metaphor.

==REMEMBER: METAPHORS ARE SYMBOLIC AND COMPARE ONE THING TO ANOTHER, DON'T CHOOSE OVERUSED IDEAS, LIKE A HEART FOR LOVE OR THE EYES ARE THE WINDOW TO THE SOUL. DIG DEEPER AND REALLY TRY TO PORTRAY SOMETHING UNIQUE. ==
