If we do a Shakespeare play for example, "Romeo & Juliet" with a different setting, like "in space", it still has to be recognizable as the original play right?
Yes, it still needs to have the flavor of the original play. (doomed lovers, etc.) You don't have to give them name tags, but you may want to put them in a famous scene (like when they lay dying, or the balcony scene, translated into space)
ok thanks. I'm thinking of doing romeo and juliet in 1930's New York as two family members of rivaling Mafia families, it's difficult. Any suggestions?
Reference is your best friend. I like doing some research before I draw something sometimes, my pieces seem to come out better in the end when I do that. Look up pictures from the 1930's in NY. I love the Sopranos. Maybe watch a clip about the mafia. See how they dress, act, etc. Have fun with it. ;D Nothing is ever too difficult.
The technical stuff: Each week you are required to post your weekly sketchbook here--they should be uploaded before class each week. (remember, when you're scanning and posting to the blog, sketches should probably be 72 dpi and in Grayscale or RGB. Finals for printing should be scanned at 300 dpi.)
I encourage you to comment on each other's work and post any other projects or doodles you'd like to share or would like input on--this can include progress on class assignments, experiments, or links of interest you think the class would enjoy. This blog is to encourage you to help each other out, get ideas flowing, and see what everyone is up to! Have fun with it!
I'll be posting something myself each week, so stay tuned!
