The Vignette Books are just another project that I loved, and it is definitely in the top 3 for my “favorite projects” list. I enjoyed this project for two reasons. The first is that I got to write. I may not be the best writer, but it’s something I enjoy doing. The second reason is that it involved art. I got to go wild with my creativity, and it didn’t take me too long to find the emotion of each of my writing pieces and turn that into art. This is something that I think I did the best I could with time management AND managing how much writing and content I balanced out. One problem that I ran into towards the end of this project was that I didn’t have a plan for how I was going to glue, tape, or make the writing and art (that was on a separate piece of paper) stick to the booklet.
The purpose of this project was to write our own stories and explore our unique voices as authors. Some big questions we explored were: Who am I? What events, people, places, objects, and feelings have helped construct who I am today? What is next for me? Where do I plan on going, and how can we pair art with writing in a meaningful way? We created vignette books, complete with covers, art pieces, and author biographies. First, we read A House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros. Then, we wrote drafts of our own vignettes which we critiqued and revised to make better. And finally we turned in our finished projects.
