Life in 5 seconds

While drawing my life in 5 seconds I learned that visual story telling is a really great way to tell a short story and you can get much more detailed without using a million words. I can go into much more depth because a small visual goes along way. The order if very important because it illustrates the series of the events, it also makes it clear so you are not confusing the audience. A group of symbols can be more direct and detailed in some cases and I believe the episode of Dallas I used works really well because it is a very intense episode and I would have has to write a novel if I had to use words. But by using the symbols I can go into depth because I am able to tell what's next with a character in that same area. I believe it is almost easier to tell some stories in this way. It can be more fun for the audience as well because its almost a puzzle they need to connect to get the plot. This was probably my favorite daily cre8tve so far!
I believe this could help me with my 6 word memoirs because now I know just how important the visual portion is. It is not just all about the writing and words the visual element is what makes the message more clear. I now know that I have to go I to more depth with my pictures instead of so much focus on my choice of words. Although the words are important. I am really struggling with finding very symbolic pictures. I believe this is a very challenging project for me.
