Last semester a significant majority chose "Narrative" as your main subject, which is the perfect segway to the Concept Development project. You are to develop a folio around/about your own story. We all have stories to tell, and you can decide on absolutely anything - it can be personal, it can be a family story, it can be something more abstract or not even based around the ideas of plot and narrative. At the end you are to have a series of photographs (however many you think are necessary to tell your story) and possibly, but not necessarily, some accompanying text.
This week is for brainstorming ideas, and I suggest you use some storyboard layouts to do so. The idea at the end is that you present your folio as an artist book, and we will be investigating different artist books and why they are such a great way to deal with narrative. Do not worry yet about the final format, the important part now is to think about your story.
Read this post by David Campbell, and the text that is available on elearn.
Post on your blogs some ideas for your story and a reflection on the readings. At this point, think broadly about your story, it is not a proposal set in stone.
Here are some examples of artist books to get your creativity flowing - although these are mostly handmade, the point is that a book can take many forms:
