Now that I’ve settled down to work on “Black Art” by Amiri Baraka, I’d like to say that I’m not sure as to what I’ll be doing for the digital portion of this assignment. His poem shows a lot of negative and extreme emotions concerning racial differences, but I’m not sure as to how to integrate them into my visual component. I feel that I’m leaning more towards working on a 3-D model than producing a short video for this portion, though I need to decide what kind of model I will be using..perhaps something like, the two sides of the same coin? I’m not sure, but hopefully I’ll figure something out before the end of this week.
Looking back on the essay portion, I’m still unsure as to how I’ll be writing this essay; I feel like it’ll be more of an analysis of the poem itself rather than a really creative essay. Maybe I might even touch upon the problems of racism in America and focus on that. I just hope I’m not taking such a broad idea and failing to form a proper thesis out of it for my paper. I’ll just keep thinking about the thesis and how I can represent it through a simplistic model.
