Words > Image

For this assignment we are dealing with homophones. Homophones are words that sound the same but have different meanings and are spelled different ways. For this homophone assignment I will be making a diptic of the two words that sound the same way. The words I am using for this assignment are "Wax" and "Whacks". I will be doing this digitally so I can see the color. For my image of "wax", I will have someone hold a candle and let it melt on their hands. I will also just drip wax on their hands to watch it dry in cool patterns, then take the picture up close with the background blurred so its just focused on the hands. For "whacks", I will be taking a picture of someone with a baseball bat or tennis racket running up behind someone who is just standing, asking like they are going to hit them from behind. I am going to try and make this as realistic as possible and make the persons facial expression look like their really going to hit them hard. I will then put the two images next to each other to create a diptic.
