The document provides information about a narrative illustration project. It discusses key concepts for narrative illustrators such as representing the meaning of text visually, generating ideas, selecting passages to illustrate, capturing mood and atmosphere, and depicting characters. It also provides examples of illustrators who have used techniques like silhouettes, paper cuts, and puppets. Specific instructions are given to students such as creating character designs and storyboard sketches for a scene from "The Metamorphosis" by Franz Kafka.
This PPT explains to ESL students what creative writing is and how it is different from technical writing. It also contains a creative writing prompt for use in the classroom.

"The Memo That Started It All" by Christopher VoglerBrian Solis
In 1985, Christopher Vogler, a Disney story analyst and student of Joseph Campbell, wrote a seven-page memo synopsizing the myth-master’s description of the archetypal Hero’s Journey, culled from thousands of years of stories, myths, legends and fairy tales. It was far from the first time Hollywood heard of Campbell--he’s been a conversational staple at least since George Lucas cited his influence on “Star Wars"--but outside of a few screenwriters, critics and academics, precious few people had actually read “Hero with a Thousand Faces.”
So Vogler’s memo became a sort of a Cliff’s Notes for Hollywood literati and it soon began a journey of its own. Dawn Steel in 1987 asked Vogler for a copy and made it required reading for Paramount executives, producers and writers. Other studio story departments followed suit. The memo grew to a 15- and then a 40-page essay as Vogler continued to test and refine his ideas, talking with colleagues at Disney, friends at other studios and students at the UCLA Writer’s Program, where he teaches a story analysis class.
Writers, producers and actors asked for copies. Among them was Jeff Arch, who, among other projects, wrote the story for “Sleepless in Seattle” and co-wrote the film’s screenplay, says Vogler’s work is “brilliant.” “Every time I write something, I run each charcter throuh the system Chris has outlined,” says Arch.
Finally, the memo made the ultimate metamorphosis; Vogler write “The Writer’s Journey: Mythic Structure for Storytellers & Screenwriters.” Published last year, the book presents the Hero’s Journey in 12 stages.

thGAP - BAbyss in Moderno!! Transgenic Human Germline Alternatives ProjectMarc Dusseiller Dusjagr
thGAP - Transgenic Human Germline Alternatives Project, presents an evening of input lectures, discussions and a performative workshop on artistic interventions for future scenarios of human genetic and inheritable modifications.
To begin our lecturers, Marc Dusseiller aka "dusjagr" and Rodrigo Martin Iglesias, will give an overview of their transdisciplinary practices, including the history of hackteria, a global network for sharing knowledge to involve artists in hands-on and Do-It-With-Others (DIWO) working with the lifesciences, and reflections on future scenarios from the 8-bit computer games of the 80ies to current real-world endeavous of genetically modifiying the human species.
We will then follow up with discussions and hands-on experiments on working with embryos, ovums, gametes, genetic materials from code to slime, in a creative and playful workshop setup, where all paticipant can collaborate on artistic interventions into the germline of a post-human future.

2. NARRATIVE ILLUSTRATION
by John Vernon Lord
The main function of the
narrative illustrator is to
represent, interpret, and
heighten the meaning of
a selected passage of
text (in a complementary
way) by means of
pictures, with the aim of
contributing to the
reader's appreciation of
the narrative.
3. Ideas
• Ideas in illustration may be generated in several ways:
• ideas are required to solve particular problems;
• ideas are required in selecting and composing the
elements of a picture;
• ideas can come from inventing a new visual language or
by an original use of materials.
• Ideas may take on the form of the visual clarification of
something that cannot be expressed in words or seen in
the normal way.
• Visual ideas may complement words.
• Pictorial ideas may show what the world is like in the
present, what it used to be like in the past, and what it
could, should or might be like in the future.
4. The Text
• Which individual passages of text shall be selected to
illustrate and how do the pictures relate to each other to
attain a satisfactory sequence?
• What pictorial properties should we consider when we
are illustrating in series?
• Chapter 1 Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka;
• http://www.online-literature.com/franz-kafka/metamorphosis/1/
5. The Frozen Moment
• At what precise moment do we choose to stop the
action when the events in the narrative take place?
• Catching the fleeting moment when an event has just
happened, or is about to happen, and that will, in the
next moment change.
6. Mood and Atmosphere
We need to consider reflecting the tone of a narrative
by extracting the appropriate sense of mood and
atmosphere from its content. Our intention might be to
create a sense of drama or humour, suspense and
surprise, or joie de vivre etc.
Nature and action of the characters
The nature and action of the characters who are
participating in the narrative have to be considered as
well as registering their physical appearance, (features
of face) and their momentary gesture and expression -
not just what they are doing. Maintaining the likeness
of individual characters throughout a story might be
something that has to be handled.
9. Learning Objectives
• Understand what happens to the main
character at the beginning of „The
Metamorphosis‟.
• Create a character design to help visualise
what Gregor Samsa might look like.
10. Franz Kafka
• Franz Kafka, b. Prague, (then
belonging to Austria), July 3,
1883, d. June 3, 1924,
• One of the most influential
writers of the 20th C.
• Virtually unknown during his
lifetime,
• The works of Kafka have since
been recognized as
symbolizing modern alienation
in an unintelligible, hostile, or
indifferent world.
11. The Metamorphosis
When Gregor Samsa awoke one morning from troubled
dreams he found himself transformed in his bed into a
monstrous insect. He was lying on his hard shell-like
back and by lifting his head a little he could see his
curved brown belly, divided by stiff arching ribs, on top of
which the bed-quilt was precariously poised and seemed
about to slide off completely. His numerous legs, which
were pathetically thin compared to the rest of his bulk,
danced helplessly before his eyes.
“What has happened to me?” he thought. It was
no dream.

12. The Metamorphosis
• View the clip:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8DfrBcjisVo
Where is Gregor?
What has happened to him?
Who comes knocking on the door?
How do the people react when they see Gregor?
13. Character Design
Create an annotated character design showing the main character.
Task
Fill up two pages in your sketchbook with a range of different
designs for your main character in your fairy tale.
20. Composition Here are a few headings to think about:
• Tone and colour contrasts;
• Figure and ground possibilities - dark against light and light against
dark;
• Contrasts of scale and proportional changes;
• Different perspectival views;
• Opposites - near and far;
• Simplicity against complexity;
• Passive and active;
• Vertical, horizontal and diagonal stresses;
• Curved and angular shapes;
• Using constants (ie the grid) as a means of orchestrating
compositional elements;
21. Visual Reference
Visual reference has to be gathered as an aid to
creating the illustration -
1. From direct observation;
2. From visual memory and drawing from the
imagination;
3. Adapting information gleaned from other forms of
pictorial material.
22. Draw one of the insects above in your sketchbook.
Fill up a whole page.
Use cross hatching technique to add tone to your drawing.
25. Scene Setting
View the documentary on storyboarding:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3q4Y2Lqvq2o&feature=related
Create thumbnail sketches for one
scene you wish to illustrate from your
story:
Emphasise mood and expression as well
as a sense of movement in the picture.
View Point
The choice of viewpoint (angle of vision
or eye-level) has to be established for
each picture.

30. Narrative Illustration Project
Draw 3 different openings.
The idea is to show the story from the
viewpoint of an observer.
Think of ways of creating a sense of
suspense in your images.
31. A silhouette is the image of a person, an object
or scene represented as a solid shape of a single
colour, usually black, its edges matching the
outline of the subject. The interior of a silhouette
is featureless, and the whole is typically
presented on a light background, usually white,
or none at all.
